Triple Base Gallery (San Francisco) is excited to announce its New York Pop-Up Gallery, opening in Tribeca (8 Desbrosses) on March 3rd and running though March 13th. Coinciding with the city’s simultaneous art fairs, the show, entitled “Yielding California” will be housed within a 5,000 square-foot exhibition space and will feature painting, drawing, sculpture, and video art from eleven emerging artists based in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.

California has long provided fertile ground to artists in search of utopia, just as it has proven to be a rich terrain for both the exploration of consciousness and for an ongoing attempt to reconcile the allure of commercialism with the natural world. Triple Base presents bi-coastal artists that probe and process these very notions and concepts. Exhibiting artists include: Korakrit Arunanondchai, Nate Boyce, Todd Bura, Michelle Blade, Bryson Gill, Kori Girard, Joseph Hart, Rachel Kaye, Lauren Luloff, Jay Nelson and Oliver Halsman Rosenberg.

From Beat Art to Bay Area Figurative painting to the Mission School, San Francisco, in particular, boasts a rich history as an incubator for innovative artists and progressive art movements that have paralleled coinciding practices in both New York and abroad. With the globalization and subsequent growth of the art world—in addition to the constant migration of artists and exhibitions around the globe—the California “frame of mind” is now no longer confined to one fixed location, but has, instead, begun to sow seeds and plant roots in like-minded artistic subcultures throughout the world. “Yielding California” embraces these cross-currents and showcases a new crop of artists that explore, exemplify, and embody this contemporary “Californian” essence and aesthetic.

Opening Reception:
Live performances by ARP (Alexis Georgopoulos) Panda Blur (Korakrit Arunanondchai) and a collaboration by Hisham Akira Bharoocha (Soft Circle) and Robert AA Lowe (Lichens/Singer).
