Shinoda Toko: Abstract Calligraphy | Asian Art Museum
Feb 6–Sep 15, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
A trailblazer in 20th-century Japanese calligraphy, Shinoda Toko (1913–2021) reshaped the art of ink abstraction with her distinctive and dynamic style.
Shinoda studied traditional calligraphy but soon rejected the practice of copying past masters, likening it to “creating a fake.” A calligrapher at heart, Shinoda preferred lithography over woodblock printing, as it allowed her to directly apply her brushwork to the plate, capturing the nuances of each stroke.
As she transitioned from painting legible Chinese characters toward avant-garde abstraction, Shinoda initially faced resistance in Japan and moved to New York in 1956. “I wanted to see how my works would be received in a foreign country,” she later recalled, “where letters are not read as letters.” Throughout her 107-year lifetime, the artist consistently sought her own vision of beauty, free from the confines of tradition.

Beautiful, Bountiful, Boisterous Birds | Asian Art Museum
Feb 6–Sep 15, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Hawks, pheasants, ducks, quail, egrets, and other birds appear frequently in Japanese paintings. With roots in the Chinese “bird and flower” genre, some are traditionally associated with a particular season or sentiment; others were chosen by artists and patrons simply for their beauty.
The paintings currently on view in the Tateuchi Japanese Galleries use birds as both decorations and symbols, representing the seasons, strength, longevity, fidelity, or good fortune. They include decorative rimpa-style paintings; large, Kano-style screen paintings; and intimate hanging scrolls decorated in ink and faint colors.
Ruth Asawa Retrospective | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Apr 5–Sep 2, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Nearly 12 years after her death, SFMOMA is presenting the first major national and international retrospective of Ruth Asawa’s work, a groundbreaking artist whose work is fully explored in her work. Born in California in 1926, Asawa was forcibly sent to an internment camp during World War II because of her Japanese descent. After her release, she attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina and began a prolific career that spanned six decades, spanning a variety of media from painting to sculpture, often drawing on organic forms and reflecting her deep affection for nature.
The exhibition will feature 300 of Asawa’s works in chronological order, with her signature hanging, looping wire sculptures—known for their “form within a form” constructions—taking a prominent place. The exhibition will also highlight her contributions to art education and public sculpture. In particular, a specially curated gallery will recreate Asawa’s home and studio in San Francisco’s Noe Valley, offering a glimpse into her family life and creative inspirations. The exhibition will feature her sketchbooks and experiments with materials such as copper, ceramic, electroplating and bronze, as well as the original hand-carved mahogany door of her former home and works by artists she admired, such as Josef Albers, Ray Johnson, Peggy Tolk-Watkins and Marguerite Wildenhain.

People Make This Place: SFAI Stories | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Jul 26, 2025–Jul 5, 2026 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Exploring moments from the rich history of the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) — before its closure, the West Coast’s oldest fine art school — this exhibition spotlights works by more than 50 SFAI alumni and former faculty included in the museum’s collection. The presentation underscores the school’s crucial role in fostering creativity and experimentation, featuring works across media since the post–World War II era by artists like Ansel Adams, Joan Brown, Miguel Calderón, Imogen Cunningham, Mike Henderson, Candice Lin, and Carlos Villa, among others.
The exhibition also includes a dynamic and quirky range of archival materials drawn from the SFMOMA Library and the SFAI Archive. These encompass ephemera from the founding of the school’s photography department, posters for 1950s Beat-era galleries run by artist alumni, student newspapers, and flyers from the punk and new wave music scenes of the 1970s. Taking its title from a line in the final 2022 commencement speech by faculty member and alumnus Dewey Crumpler, People Make This Place is a collaborative effort across the museum in partnership with the SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive.

Gurjeet Singh: When Words Hurt | Asian Art Museum
Apr 3, 2025–Mar 23, 2026 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Chandigarh-based artist Gurjeet Singh’s first show at an American institution offers a moving consideration of the emotional impact of words. Teary Eyes is a soft sculpture stitched together from pieces of dress fabric. Despite a playful, colorful surface, the work conveys a deep vulnerability; this feeling grows deeper as we witness a violent exchange of words in the painting Prickly Words. Portraits of Singh with the figure further personalize the exhibition.
“These works explore what it means to be seen, to express yourself, and the power of language to build us up and tear us down,” says exhibition curator Padma Dorje Maitland, Malavalli Family Foundation Associate Curator of the Art of the Indian Subcontinent. “Even if we accept ourselves and feel confident, the wrong word at the wrong time can deeply impact us. Whether Sikh, South Asian, Queer, soft, or hard, Singh’s work addresses the complex challenges of fashioning how we appear in the world.”
Vikrant Bhise: Archival Historicity/Dalit Panthers | Asian Art Museum
Apr 3, 2025–May 23, 2026 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Filled with a revolutionary spirit, Vikrant Bhise’s Archival Historicity series offers a dynamic visual archive of the Dalit Panthers, a group dedicated to seeking freedom from caste, gender, and labor inequities for India’s most oppressed and marginalized peoples. Founded in 1972 in Mumbai and taking inspiration from the Oakland-based Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Dalit Panthers sought to align themselves with their Bay Area counterparts in a global struggle for equality and social change.
Bhise’s intimate, postcard-sized works are made up of many layers: painted and printed elements from manifestos and pamphlets interact and overlap with newspaper images, urban monuments, and symbolic cartoons. Installed in a continuous sequence spanning a gallery wall, these selections from the ongoing series “evoke the small, localized experiences that add up to global movements, while underscoring the enduring significance of the Panthers’ call for equality,” says Padma Dorje Maitland, Malavalli Family Foundation Associate Curator of the Art of the Indian Subcontinent. This exhibition marks their first showing in a major museum.
Kunié Sugiura: Photopainting | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Apr 26–Sep 14, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
This exhibition is the first US survey of the work of Kunié Sugiura, an artist whose boundary-defying engagement with the photographic medium spans over sixty years. Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1942, Sugiura came to the United States in 1963 to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she majored in photography. After graduation, she relocated to New York and has lived there ever since.
Sugiura’s practice embraces a hybrid approach, blending various mediums and expressing her bicultural identity. The balancing of dualisms —Japanese/American, organic/human-made, and painting/photography — defines her work. Sugiura has stated that her cross-fertilization of photography with painting and sculpture partly stems from her desire that photography be taken seriously as an art form.

Tradition and Innovation: Contemporary Korean Ceramics | Asian Art Museum
May 8–Dec 1, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Offering a rare chance to see contemporary Korean ceramics from the museum collection, this exhibition highlights clay creations by four prominent 20th-century artists. Their various approaches, each one an heir to its own creative lineage, demonstrate innovations deeply rooted in Korea’s rich legacy of ceramics production.
On one side, the lively surface textures of stoneware and porcelain works by Roe Kyung-Jo (b. 1951), Kim See-man (b.1958), and Yoon Kwang-jo (b. 1946) bring fresh updates to traditional marbling and glazing techniques. Exhibition curator and Assistant Curator for Korean Art Yoon-Jee Choi notes that “buncheong (분청), the central decoration of Kim and Yoon’s vessels, is one of the most innovative techniques of Korean ceramics; the two artists advance this traditional method by exploring a sense of rhythm and spontaneity.”
Directly opposite are three smooth, black pillars of stacked onggi (옹기) — vessels historically used to carry fermented foods such as kimchi — by Cho Chung-Hyun (b. 1940). Standing as tall as people, each of these appealing works seems animated by its own unique personality, conveyed via subtle variations in shape and size.

Build Ai for Good
Use a next-generation Ai system to create Ai-powered UI/UX, Ai Scientists that can plan experiments, run them, and learn from the results. New kinds of Ai-powered social media feeds like Instagram are now possible—but with anything you want in the feed, and
where the user is in the driver seat to tell the Ai what they want to see.
At Ai Developer Camp, hundreds of engineers, designers and entrepreneurs will gather to explore the frontiers of machine learning with the Gray Whale Ai Platform. During our 48-hour idea competition, attendees will learn about the latest advancements in machine learning from the world's foremost experts in the field.
Ai Developer Camp
follows the tradition of past events, highlighting inclusion, diversity and empowerment in the developer community. Attendees are encouraged to develop native and web applications during this exciting, cooperative, hackathon-style event.
We are thrilled to announce that Gray Whale, Product Genius and Berlinhouse will sponsor us in-person and online, to connect developers around the world.
Now is the time to register if you plan to attend. Space online is not capped this year but only those who have registered in advance will be able to attend.
About the Event
Unique to our event is early access to the Gray Whale Platform. It is foundational Ai that performs iterative experiments and abstracts principles for successful outcomes. It is unique — and years ahead of the market.
The Gray Whale Platform forces an underlying LLM to become more scientific, more iterative, faster, more compute efficient, and more reliable. This makes it possible to use an LLM to power all sorts of real-time UI/UX interactions and makes it possible to have an LLM learn from large-scale statistical data derived from scientific experiments that it performs and iterates.
One major way to use the platform is that many developers are already using the Genius Platform to make Instagram-like “learning feeds” for all kinds of different types of items and communities. Ideas for new feeds include:
Product marketplaces
Person to person matchmaking
Commercial real-estate property recommendations
Hotel room and tourist activity booking
Video, news or other content recommendations
Music recommendations for listening or practice
Artwork or craft recommendations
Social media post feeds
Job candidate suggestions or jobs listings
Stock recommendations
Startup company ideas
Work task suggestions or summaries
Robotics and biotech experiments
Event schedule will include educational sessions on topics such as:
Ai / ML
Software Engineering
Product Design
Security Engineering
Open Source Toolchains
Design Thinking
Apple Intelligence
Google Gemini
Our event is open to developers and entrepreneurs with a range of experience and skills. We hope you will join us for this revolutionary experience.
Note: Ticket price includes six (6) full meals, plus snacks and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the weekend.

In
What is Intelligence?
, Blaise Agüera y Arcas, VP, Fellow and CTO of Technology & Society at Google, explores what intelligence really is, and how AI’s emergence is a natural consequence of evolution. Encompassing decades of theory, existing literature, and recent artificial life experiments, Agüera y Arcas’ research argues that certain modern AI systems do indeed have a claim to intelligence, consciousness, and free will.
This talk is presented as part of a larger project on
What is Intelligence?
, including a printed book alongside experimental formats which challenge the conventions of academic publishing. It is the inaugural collaborative work of Antikythera, a think tank on the philosophy of technology, and MIT Press, a leading publisher of books and journals at the intersection of science, technology, art, social science, and design.
Blaise Agüera y Arcas
is a VP and Fellow at Google, where he is the CTO of Technology & Society and founder of Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi). Pi is an organization working on basic research in AI and related fields, especially the foundations of neural computing, active inference, sociality, evolution, and Artificial Life.
In 2008, Blaise was awarded MIT’s TR35 prize. During his tenure at Google, Blaise has innovated on-device machine learning for Android and Pixel; invented
Federated Learning
, an approach to decentralized model training that avoids sharing private data; and founded the
Artists + Machine Intelligence
program.
A frequent public speaker, he has given multiple TED talks and keynoted NeurIPS. He has also authored numerous papers, essays, op-eds, and chapters, as well as two previous books,
Who Are We Now?
and
Ubi Sunt
. His most recent book,
What Is Life?
is part 1 of the larger book
What Is Intelligence?
, forthcoming from Antikythera and MIT Press in September 2025.
Our mission at
The Long Now Foundation
is to foster long-term thinking and responsibility. Through our Long Now Talks series which began in 02003 and features speakers from around the world, we hope to ignite cultural imagination around long-term thinking. The talks are filmed live in San Francisco, and we release podcasts and videos from them which are publicly available online.
