Eight bridges connect the San Francisco Bay, so it is an apt name for a gallery platform that brings the Bay Area art world together.
Our mission is to maintain a vibrant gallery scene, despite restrictions on travel, celebrations and other larger gatherings. We want to support our artists by informing and entertaining curators, collectors and critics with potent online exhibitions of their work.
On the first Thursday of every month, we will launch 8 shows of artists relevant to the Bay Area. They may be working in this place, long considered an epicenter of change, or deeply engaged in the conversations the Bay Area holds dear, whether it’s related to technology, the environment, social justice or sexual identity, to name a few. In addition, each month will highlight the crucial work of a Bay Area non-profit arts organization.

Pace Gallery is pleased to present a selection of works by the artist, Hai Bo. Born in rural Changchun in Northeast China, Hai Bo has spent decades capturing the people, daily life, and vast landscape of his home. The Southern, the artist’s recent series, includes a collection of photographs taken across Southern China, a region of the country far less familiar to the artist, which has served as rich inspiration as he explores the unfamiliar. In contrast to the intense physicality of Northern China, Hai Bo finds the south more spiritual. He says, “If ‘The Northern’ series represents a heavy reality and pessimistic emotions, then ‘The Southern’ series is more about fantasy and virtual mental states. Life and art are just dreams.” In The Southern, the mundane feels graceful, even sublime.
