About

Learn about the artist behind the Garden’s art sculpture Monument (Pyramid) and the larger exhibition at BAMPFA, Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing, from co-curator Anthony Graham. — Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing , now on view at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, is the most significant retrospective of the artist to date. Hear from exhibition co-curator Anthony Graham about Hassinger’s work across sculpture, performance, video, and installation from the early 1970s to today. Throughout her career, Hassinger has addressed social and cultural issues through an awareness of interconnectedness, ephemerality, and the relationships between humans and the natural world. The Garden supplied branch material for multiple sculptures that are on view in the galleries at BAMPFA, and collaborated in the building of the sculpture Monument (Pyramid) on the Garden’s Oak Knoll. The exhibition runs through November 29, 2026. Anthony Graham is Senior Curator at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Other recent projects include Object Oriented: Abstraction and Design in the BAMPFA Collection as well as solo exhibitions with artists Zeinab Saleh, Tanya Aguiñiga, and Young Joon Kwak. Garden Admission included. Coffee/Tea provided. $20 / $10 Members / $8 Student / Free UC Affiliates
