Last night BUMP Records artists Kovu, Queen Nefertiti, Moria Moore and Teka performed at the SFMOMA as part of a collaboration with artist, Mark Bradford. The 4 performed songs from both released and upcoming projects, as well as music inspired by the work of Bradford. A great attendance, a great performance. Definitely a night for us to remember!

Mark Bradford presents Pinocchio is on Fire; Rineke Dijkstra in Conversation On the opening of two mid-career retrospectives, Mark Bradford’s and Rineke Dijkstra’s, we present an evening of the artists’ voices and visions. Dijkstra kicks off the evening with a 7pm conversation about her portrait work with our Senior Curator of Photography, Sandra Phillips. The evening is capped when young, local musicians cover Bradford’s multi-media piece, included in his exhibition, Pinocchio is on Fire. Pinocchio is a full-length record that presents a composite star—part soul singer Teddy Pendegrass, part of the artist’s outsized response to Pendergrass’ image, and part a community of young people in South L.A. About the artists: Moria Moore, 17-years-old, found escape in the space between words and sound, a voice that breathes life to transform imagination into reality.
