Root Division presents Lay of the Land

Lay of the Land, co-curated by SFAI alum Naomi Alessandra Schultz, Eleanor Scholz O’Leary, and Julianna Heller. The exhibition is on view until July 26 at Root Division. Featuring 14 Bay Area–based artists—Jeremiah Barber, Alicia Escott, Emily Gui, Jada Simone Haynes, Shao-Feng Hsu , Phil McGaughy, Joshua Moreno, Eleanor Scholz O’Leary, Sun Park, Callan Porter-Romero, Tricia Rainwater, Naomi Alessandra Schultz, Nicole Shaffer, and Catherine Wang McMahon. Canonical Western landscape art has historically been used as a political tool to define the “truth” of a place, a narrative to assert ownership and dominion. Yet environments in all their intricacies cannot neatly slot into a framework; they are as nuanced as the many human and non-human beings that engage with them. The lay of the land—the unique arrangement or characteristics of a place—contains a multitude of truths. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday from 12-6pm, and Saturday by appointment.
