It's a Lamp! Opening Reception

Celebrate SF Art Week with us at 500 Capp Street as we open It's a Lamp!, our concept store's new show with San Francisco artist and electrician Rico Duenas. Featuring never-before-seen works, the exhibition continues Duenas’ ongoing dialogue with the late artist David Ireland, nearly five years after his celebrated project Light Repair. In this new body of work, Duenas expands his poetic relationship to illumination—treating lamps not merely as functional objects, but as sculptural vessels in active dialogue with the architecture and icons of the David Ireland House.

The David Ireland House at 500 Capp Street, in San Francisco’s Mission District, is celebrated as one of the West Coast’s finest examples of a home transformed into an environmental artwork. Explore our current exhibition Blue Reverie by Catherine Wagner, conduct research in the Paule Anglim Archive Room, or visit the Accordion Shop.

Accessibility
Visiting the House requires walking up one flight of stairs with a handrail. The elevator provides access to the second floor but requires a transfer to another wheelchair to move between areas.
