In the name of celebration, San Francisco Art Institute is launching a new exhibition, The Spirit of Disruption, to honor its notable 150th anniversary. “This exhibition is a reexamination of the constantly changing complexion of art history—an invitation to no longer read between the lines,” says exhibition co-curator Margaret Tedesco. The new exhibit celebrates the anniversary of the institute’s major influence in contemporary art by showcasing work by artists who have often not been included in the historical narrative. –QW
