Shadowshop is part of the exhibition “The More Things Change” and is sponsored by the SFMOMA Live Art program.

“They are not accidents. It is a matter of working “They are not accidents. It is a matter of working inside parameters versus outside of them. The process completes itself and has a say in the artistic vision that the artist intentionally sets out.” I hope I did justice to this quote from my notes from the artist. talk by John Chiara. Inspiring Work and an epic commitment to the process. Great to see some old friends here at the event and great to hear some of the behind the scenes secrets after looking up close at these giant images.
I’m so glad to catch this show before it closed. Y I’m so glad to catch this show before it closed. You have four more days to see this amazing and humorous take on how museums create meaning.

Burn Line
アリ・サロモン | Ari Salomon

NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Open: 4/18-5/17, 2026

details at: AriSalomon.com 
Burn Line is a meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation in the wake of California’s wildfires. 

Using a process I call Pyrotype, photographic images are CNC-engraved into wood and then transformed through controlled burning into solid charcoal. Each piece becomes both image and relic—a fusion of photography, sculpture, and memory—objects literally forged by fire, embodying how trauma alters what remains.

I created these pieces in collaboration with fire survivors. Together we looked at photographs of objects they lost in the fires. Then we worked together to tell a story about what was meaningful and what was lost. 

Alongside these collaborations, I also include my own black-and-white photographs of the fire’s aftermath, reflecting on destruction and renewal through my own lens.

JÖTÖSHIKI
(ROOF-RAISING CEREMONY)
上棟式
A traditional Japanese ceremony held after a building’s framework is complete.
It expresses gratitude to those who built it, shows respect for the land, and prays for the safety, stability, and well-being of the people who will live and gather there.
This ofuda (paper talisman) from a local shrine is placed within the structure as a blessing-inviting protection and harmony as the home’s life begins.

REBUILDING WITH CARE
In the wake of fire, rebuilding is more than construction-it is a return.
Jötöshiki reminds us that every structure begins with respect for the land and hope for a safe future.
This exhibition space, too, is a temporary frame for healing— a place to honor what was lost, and to imagine what can grow.

I was so glad to include a few ritual elements in my installation. 

B1F GALLERY
LAST WEEK!
EXHIBITION ENDS MAY 17 SUNDAY

ABOUT JOTOSHIKI EMI
Also called jotosai, this roof-raising ceremony celebrates the completion of a building’s framework. It gives thanks, honors the land, and prays for the building’s safety and the well-being of all who will dwell within.
