Tonight's the opening of the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery’s 40th anniversary show, Now & When, in which several Bay Area cultural producers, including the Bureau of Urban Secrets, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Taro Hattori, Packard Jennings, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Ken Lo, Gay Outlaw & Bob Schmitz, Joseph del Pesco, Paul Schiek, and Margaret Tedesco & Matt Borruso, were asked to create projects based on the concept of time capsules "as a means to critically confront the value, meaning and methodologies of marking time."

The project was inspired by a time capsule project produced by the gallery in 1990, which contained small works by artists such as the Guerilla Girls and Karen Finley surrounding censorship, prompted by the actions of Senator Jesse Helms and the NEA.

The exhibit runs through September 4th.
