"Catherine Wagner: Reel to Real" February 27 - April 5, 2025

Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce “Catherine Wagner: Reel to Real,” the San Francisco-based artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, on view February 27 to April 5, 2025. The exhibition features two bodies of work that restage physical sites of our collective imaginations. These include Wagner’s new series Moving Pictures, exploring the film archive at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), alongside never-before-seen photographs from Architecture of Reassurance, her historic 1995 series capturing Disney theme parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris, and Tokyo. These curious and often humorous images confront enchantments promised by the twentieth century’s most iconic visual landscapes. Through Wagner’s lens, “Reel to Real” takes us behind the scenes, lifting the curtain on cinematic smoke and mirrors.

"Twinning" February 27 - April 5, 2025

Jessica Silverman is proud to host “Twinning” in Gallery 2, which revolves around a trio of sculptures by Elmgreen & Dragset alongside works by Esaí Alfredo, Diane Arbus, Diedrick Brackens,Man Ray, Ana Segovia, and Xie Lei. The exhibition explores the freedom, fate, rebellion, and conformity that accompany the emotional interdependence of coupling. The exhibition runs from February 27 through April 5, 2025.
