The artists featured in the 2026 presentation of Here and Now use everyday objects as a representation of self, home, and community. Two significant paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bradford, on loan from outside collections, anchor this iteration of Here and Now. Bradford makes abstract collages from paper, such as flyers and beauty salon end papers, to highlight identity, art history, and his neighborhood in LA. Collection artists Pepe Mar and Richard Stankiewicz create human-like forms from found objects to reference themselves and specific places. Additionally, Esterio Segura’s Hybrid of a Chrysler (installed outside on the
Breta Sullivan Terrace) and the Date Farmer’s Star Rider (featured in the hallway adjacent to the Ed and Ann Gessen Corridor) address migration in large-scale installations rendered from unique sources. Viewed together, the artworks exhibited in Here and Now offer intimate glimpses into the artists’s lives and personal journeys.
