San Francisco has a joyful new reason to step inside SFMOMA — and this one is completely free. In Between, a new installation by San Francisco artist Ramekon O’Arwisters, is on view from September 3, 2026, through May 2027 in the Koret Education Center on Floor 2, a space the public can visit at no charge.
Between logic and intuition lies a space of creation, the museum says, and the installation invites visitors right into it. Familiar objects — tricycles, sewing machines and musical instruments among them — are placed in unexpected combinations that make the everyday look curious again. The display celebrates the craftsmanship of the people who made these objects and their role as tools of play, work and imagination, prompting each visitor to form their own meanings.
O’Arwisters draws on decades of multidisciplinary practice in textile and craft. He traces his belief that making things by hand is an act of care, healing and resilience to his grandmother, Celia Jones Taylor, who first taught him quilt-making as a child. That spirit runs through the room: creativity, the installation suggests, is rarely solitary — we create together, rooted in shared experience, collaboration and improvisation.
In Between is presented with significant support from the Koret Foundation. SFMOMA is at 151 Third Street; the museum is open Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday from noon to 8 p.m., and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Wednesday). Stop by, look twice at the ordinary, and leave seeing it in a new way.
