San Francisco Bay in Santa Barbara

All 50 of the aerial view panels that form the core of the “Back to the Bay: An Examination of the Margins of the San Francisco Bay” exhibit were shown in one room at the University of California, Santa Barbara gallery, immersing viewers in this bay “nonsite.” CLUI photo

The CLUI exhibit Back to the Bay: An Examination of the Margins of the San Francisco Bay was recently shown in Santa Barbara, the third California coastal city to display the exhibit. It was included as part of an exhibit called Out of True, held this summer at the University of California art gallery there. Back to the Bay is an image and text exhibit about the land uses on the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay system, originally commissioned by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in San Francisco, in 2001. It is now back in its shipping crate, awaiting its next deployment. ♦
