New Season 08–09
This season YBCA presents exhibitions, performance, film video and public programs that are collected under three themes or Big Ideas. 08_09 features the fifth edition of YBCA's signature triennial event, Bay Area Now 5; artists who are driven by a sense of urgency about our future in Imagining Our Future; and artists who embrace the ritualized power of performance in a series we’re calling Ritual and Redemption.
We’re pleased and proud to present the following works this season between July 2008 and June 2009. Preview the works and hear from our curators by clicking below for a PDF version of our Performance brochure and a video preview of the 08_09 Season. We hope you'll join us this season and experience life…amplified
