The first exhibition to bring together Steve Roden's art in all its divergent forms and reveals his work as a homogenous, conceptually coherent practice through the inclusion of a core sampling of his art. Featured in the exhibition is a selection of early works that are precursors to the artist's numerous later directions, as well as a new group of works conceived and executed especially for the exhibition. The overall presentation is rooted in a five-year series of paintings, sculptures, sound works, musical compositions, text works, and video installations from 2004 through 2009 that, while formally divergent, are generated by Roden's systemic operations on the same musical score.

Dirty, punk-rock inspired garage-indie that’s dark and gritty while still being entirely catchy and worthy of being sung along to, you say? Sign me up, I’ll take five. The San Francisco-bred band can throw down and rock out like their stage is an early ’90s basement show and can effortlessly transition into more atmospheric and melancholic tones, capturing the air of the dingiest of their hometown dive bars. Pulling from all flavors of badassery, the threesome makes some of the best mood music that’s still cool kid-approved. Saturday, September 14
