Julio César Morales, ‘My America’
Sept. 19–Nov. 1, 2025
Gallery Wendi Norris, San Francisco
Julio César Morales, recently returned to the Bay Area from Arizona, has not one but two major solos this fall, the first of which already opened at the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis. My America, his smaller exhibition in Wendi Norris’ Jackson Square gallery, will center on a sound installation created with musician and producer Mexican Institute of Sound. Watercolors from the artist’s Gemelos series — depictions of two figures in the tight quarters migrants endure while trying to cross into the United States — will surround the listening booth.
