Marin Moca | 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Set Up Situations: Photography as Action brings together artists who use photography not merely as a medium of documentation, but as an active tool—one that intervenes, performs, and provokes. These artists approach photography as action: a gesture, a confrontation, and a collaboration. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the emotional and psychological textures embedded within images—what lies beneath the surface, in the act of looking and being seen.

Anthony Meier Gallery | 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Join Anthony Meier for Marin Art Day for special opening hours, featuring our expansive dual presentation with Mexico City–based design firm and fine art gallery AGO Projects and our solo presentation by Bay Area legend Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, recently welcomed into the gallery's program.
