The installation reflects the artist’s own experience and treats craft as care, healing and resilience, and creativity as something shared. It sits in the Koret Education Center and is free to enter.

Made in 2003 and shown here for the first time in the US, the work plays Susan Philipsz’s own untrained voice singing a cappella versions of songs by Teenage Fanclub, Soft Cell, The Smiths and Gram Parsons from one speaker. Philipsz often draws on popular music for its power to stir emotion and shared memory. Heard against views of downtown San Francisco, the piece shifts with the surrounding architecture, light and city noise. It is in SFMOMA’s collection.

Simpson: *Behold* Dates not published · on view · Floor 4, Outdoor Terrace A 24-foot outdoor sculpture of a parent and child joined at the hip, linked by beaded necklaces and a ladder. Simpson’s sculpture rises over the museum’s façade as two figures, parent and child, attached at the hip and connected by beaded necklaces and an ornamental ladder. It honors relationships, intergenerational bonds and spiritual witnessing rather than individuals. Conceived for the site, it works as a counter-monument to the colonial violence of the California Mission system and the erasure of Native peoples in San Francisco. The parent figure looks out over the city, and the work is visible from as far as Yerba Buena Gardens.

Hashimoto builds his installations from thousands of handmade kites of bamboo and Japanese paper, hung together so they seem to drift through the air. Some are blank or solid-colored; others carry layered collaged-paper graphics. For SFMOMA he makes the largest work of his career, a canopy of nearly 75,000 elements covering the Roberts Family Gallery from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. The gallery is free to enter.

Stauffacher Solomon’s newest supergraphic links the striped motif of the 1996 Mario Botta building with the open space of the 2016 Snøhetta expansion. Stripes and the letters “OK” run across walls and ceilings, responding to the architecture around them. She invented supergraphics in the 1960s, first for The Sea Ranch, and designed SFMOMA’s monthly program guides from 1962 to 1972. The work is free to see on Floor 2.

Suzuki’s sculpture invites visitors to sit and listen to a continually remixed soundtrack of natural and urban sounds recorded in and beyond San Francisco. Its tree-like speakers give the work its title, and its bright colors recall Bay Area sunsets and landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge. The artist layers the local sounds to help people relax and de-stress. It was commissioned alongside the exhibition Art of Noise and is free to see at the top of the stairs.

In The Naming of Names, a seven-channel video installation, Chacon layers silent 1950s and ’60s travel footage from the Prelinger Archives with his own field recordings and electronic music, recasting Navajo Nation’s deserts and canyons as otherworldly terrain that unsettles the colonial gaze behind the original images. Nearby, topographical drawings overlay Canyon de Chelly with Mars’s Valles Marineris, linking canyons on two worlds. It is Chacon’s first West Coast solo exhibition, opening during the United States’ Semiquincentennial.

Sze turns the museum’s Haas Atrium into a shifting landscape of light, sound and movement. Three new monumental paintings sit within a flow of video projections and rhythmic soundscapes that reach across several spaces and floors. The work draws on the ephemerality of images, the fragility of nature and the passage of time. Its title comes from a 19th-century Emily Dickinson poem. The atrium installation is free to the public.
