Abstract Objects of Devotion — Amy Solo Exhibition

SF Art Galleries - Openings & Events Event Link: see venue calendar above ^^ Abstract Objects of Devotion , a solo exhibition by San Francisco-based artist Amy Trachtenberg, on view July 24 through October 17, 2026. Spanning sculpture, painting, installation, and language, the exhibition unfolds through a series of intimate gestures and spatial propositions developed in dialogue with David Ireland's former home and studio. Returning to a decades-long exchange with Ireland that began in the late 1980s, Trachtenberg approaches the house not simply as a site of exhibition, but as a living structure of memory, friendship, transmission, and reflection. Across the exhibition, folded and crumpled steel mesh and linen structures, silver pigment, ochre soil, human hair, bronze casts, poems, and archival correspondence become carriers of duration and attention. The exhibition also revisits the long correspondence between Trachtenberg and Ireland: letters, postcards, aerogrammes, collages, observations, and exchanges that unfolded over decades between artists deeply invested in material thinking and everyday transformation. Given your coverage of contemporary artists working across installation and site-responsive practices, I thought this exhibition might be of interest to you. I'm happy to extend an invitation to a Press Preview and VIP Opening Reception of the exhibition before it opens to the public. This preview and opening reception showcases both Abstract Objects of Devotion and The Ringing in My Eyes , Andy Vogt's concurrent solo exhibition at 500 Capp Street. The shows will run from July 24 through October 17, 2026, responding to the house and evolving throughout the course of their presentations. The preview takes place on Friday, July 24, from 6–9 PM, with artist remarks at 7 PM. Please RSVP here if you can make it. ―――――――――― SF Stuff To Do Do not edit this event! changes will be overwritten
