On March 23rd, Jonathan Carver Moore will debut his new contemporary art gallery with the inaugural exhibition The Weight of Souls by multi-disciplinary Bay Area artist Kacy Jung. The opening is free with RSVP at the button below.
The exhibition is Jung’s response to the societal pressure she’s received as a woman, an Asian immigrant, and a former scientist. Each of the works, which the artist refers to as photo sculptures, is composed of mixed media and addresses the different stages in the process of empowering, healing, and setting herself free, along with redefining her identity for herself rather than by external expectations.
Adjacent to the ground floor of the LINE SF at Turk and Market, the new gallery space is next door to Tenderheart.
