This art exhibit ("The Visitors" by Ragnar Kjartansson) is on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA, dear to my heart). This is a brief part of it, filmed and posted on YouTube. The whole exhibit is around 50 minutes long, and when I saw it, I did actually stay for all 50 minutes. I think I came out the other end a changed woman. Online, our attention spans are much shorter, so I'd like to share this brief excerpt that I found with all of you in place of the full 50 minute experience (which you can also find, if you look it up).

Guerrilla Girls, Conscience of the Art World

The Girls decided to go all the way, and have continued to do so ever since: in their posters as well as in their performances, lectures, interviews, exhibitions, and publications, they have named names, showed numbers, quoted sources, and presented bare facts that the public is invited to elaborate.

—Treasures from the Vault: The Guerrilla Girls Archive

From top: “You’re Only Seeing Half the Picture” poster project, 1989. Props used in the Guerrilla Girls’ actions: plastic gun, bananas, and gorilla fingers with nail polish. Calling card passed out at the opening of documenta 8 (Kassel 1987); the card was kept by curator Harald Szeemann in his artist files. Mask used by the Guerrilla Girls in their actions.
