Since 1967, the Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art (SECA) Art Award has honored more than 90 Bay Area artists with an exhibition at SFMOMA and an accompanying publication.

"What binds the exhibition is not a singular narrative but a shared insistence on thresholds as sites of both risk and possibility, where meaning is generated precisely through friction. In this way, Love Letters to Aliens does not ask viewers to resolve the discomfort of these encounters, but to remain with them, to recognize borders not as fixed lines to fortify or transgress, but as living spaces where new forms of relation, witnessing, and becoming tentatively begin." - Sienna Freeman

"I would like this inventory, by its simple existence, to respond to the curators of festivals and other musical events who I can hear say, “We would like to program more women, trans and non-binary but how do we find them?“ And this long list is an answer that could be translated as “Open your eyes, they are here, they are everywhere.“ And now here it is: my list of approximately 3979 artists."
- Fanny Chiarello

5 pm til the end, Saturday, October 25, 2025​ at Southern Exposure, San Francisco.
