Exhibitions are hosted on a 4 to 6 week schedule and generally feature one or two solo artist exhibits, in addition to video and project room installations. Featured artists in the video room have included such established figures as William Kentridge, Kutlug Ataman,Ann Hamilton, and Jeremy Blake.
Artists represented by the gallery include Chester Arnold, Ray Beldner, Sandow Birk, Andy Diaz Hope, Anthony Discenza,Christoph Draeger, Al Farrow, Ken Goldberg, Julie Heffernan, Packard Jennings, Nina Katchadourian, leonardogillesfleur, Reuben Lorch-Miller, Kara Maria, Walter Robinson, Lincoln Schatz, Jonathan Solo, Travis Somerville, Josephine Taylor, Masami Teraoka, among others.
The gallery program has garnered critical attention from numerous publications, including The New York Times, Artforum, Flash Art, Teme Celeste and Art Review. Gallery artists have exhibited at many national and international institutions, such as Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Serpentine Gallery, and Queensland Art Gallery, among others. Additionally, the gallery actively participates in art fairs in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, and Brussels, among other cities.
Housed in a former 1920s farming equipment warehouse, newly redesigned by Los Angeles-based architectural designer Tim Campbell, the gallery is situated among numerous arts-related landmark buildings in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Neighborhood; it is adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of the African Diaspora, and is housed on the ground floor of the same historical building as SF Camerawork.
