OPENING RECEPTION | GENERATION: THE ROOTS OF MAKING IN THE ASAWA-LANIER FAMILY
Thursday, January 12 | 6-8pm PT
Ruth's Table is thrilled to invite you to join us for our opening night celebration of Generation: The Roots of Making in the Asawa-Lanier Family.
About the Exhibition
Generation is a group exhibition that brings together four generations from a San Francisco family of makers. Inspired by our namesake, world-renowned artist Ruth Asawa, the exhibition serves as an opportunity to honor Asawa’s life-long commitment to community-based art education and activism in the arts.
Generation spans 57 years of work produced by the Asawa-Lanier family from 1965 to 2022. Motifs, including interwoven patterns of line, repetition, minimalism, and a dynamic interaction of color and form appear in all artists’ works creating inherent conversation carried through varying media. Together, they form a story of four generations of a family that is joined not only in relationship, but by the love of materials, color, and pattern.
Timed to coincide with Ruth Asawa’s birthday month, the exhibition also pays homage to the roots of Ruth’s Table, an art center and gallery which was profoundly shaped by Asawa’s values and continues to use the power of art to build a more connected, resilient, and inclusive community
