Take a look at BAMPFA’s major retrospective of Hassinger’s work, bringing together sculpture, performance, video, and installation from the early 1970s to the present. Across the exhibition, Hassinger explores interconnectedness, ephemerality, collaboration, and our relationships with the natural world. 🖼️

"Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing" is curated by Margot Norton (@margotnorton), Chief Curator, and Anthony Graham (@grahamrecently), Senior Curator, with Omar Jason Farah (@omarjasonfarah), Curatorial Assistant.

PINK TRASH 🎀 @bampfa by @marenhassinger 💗(1982/ 2026)

Invited to first perform the piece in 1982 as part of artist David Hammons’ Art Across the Park public art series, Hassinger made a simple yet powerful intervention into the problem of trash in public parks. As with many of her works, Pink Trash addresses humans’ relationship to the natural world, finding ways to confront the loss of nature, which the artist calls the most pressing issue of our time.

Dressed head to toe in pink, Hassinger traversed three New York City parks, slowly dropping trash that she had painted pink across their lawns. A practice in color theory, the brightly hued pink of the trash sharply contrasted with the lush green of the park’s grass, bringing new visibility to the scattered trash we have become accustomed to walk past.

Today was only the third iteration of the performance, and the first time that Hassinger performed the piece alongside other performers, in this case an amazing group of UC Berkeley Students: Ruby Bartlett, Belladonna Davis, Sofia Kozlova, Jenny Nguyen, and Nora Yang. Thank you to the Environmental Arts and Humanities Initiative Entanglement Series for co-sponsoring today’s performance.

Thank you to our team @bampfa especially curatorial assistant Omar Jason Farah @omarjasonfarah for bringing the magic ☀️ and to co-curator @grahamrecently Sean Carson, Eleanor Holland, Dave Taylor, Roseli Ilano @roseliilano 💖🎀💅🏼🌸👛👚🩷🦩🎟️👙🩰

The making of Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing (in reverse order). What’s overflowing right now is just so much gratitude—it has been the honor of a lifetime to work on this retrospective of @marenhassinger and give her long-deserved flowers (may they keep coming)! @margotnorton @grahamrecently thank you so much for all the hours and memories working on this show. It is the most incredible team I have ever worked with and I have learned something from you both every single day!! The community Maren has nurtured over her career and that has nurtured her is present across the show and filled our museum with such energy and love this weekend @avahassinger @colepalatini @lowerysims @doctorkelliejones @senganengudi @leslieking_hammond @lindagoodebryant

Yesterday we opened Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing @bampfa 🌱🪢💖
It has been a dream to realize this exhibition of an artist whose works have transformed me since I first saw them — to bring her pieces together and allow for connections across her practice, tell her story, and ultimately assert her dynamic place in the history of contemporary art. And there has been no greater joy than to collaborate with so many on an exhibition, that would at its core showcase all of the ways that Maren has brought people together throughout her career.
My thanks to all (there are so many and my post is too long 😂) in the comments ⬇️✨

Such excellent exhibitions at BAMPFA!

What an honor to be part of the celebration and opening of the Maren Hassinger retrospective Living Moving Growing, June 6-Nov 29, 2026. Mind blown!

Big congrats to Maren Hassinger, Julie Rodrigues Widholm, curators Margot Norton, Anthony Graham, Omar Jason Farah, and everyone at BAMPFA who worked on this inspiring show.

Living Moving Growing includes half a century of work by Maren Hassinger across a range of media from large-scale sculpture, site-specific installation to video and participatory and performance pieces too.

Yesterday there were tributes to the artist and we participated in twisting and knotting newspapers for a new, large-scale installation, Wrenching News. These workshops will continue, faciliated by Julia Goodman.

Next up and down the street the other direction from Kala - we are looking forward to the opening of Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory @oaklandmuseumca - June 12-Oct 18, 2026.

Spanning Howard’s five-decade practice, Poetics of Memory brings together her renowned collages, found-object sculptures, and immersive installations that explore memory, identity, and the African American experience.

@mildredhoward is a long-time neighbor, friend of Kala, and Print Public alumni - Kala’s public art residency.

We LOVE that @bampfa we are celebrating the art of Maren Hassinger and @oaklandmuseumca we are celebrating the art of Mildred Howard! Icons. 💕
