BAMPFA and the University of California Botanical Garden have partnered to realize the large-scale installation Monument (Pyramid) (2022/2026), on view at the UC Botanical Gardens through the run of the Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing exhibition. The outdoor sculpture was remade using redwood sticks directly from the UC Botanical Garden. The piece was collaboratively made by a group of BAMPFA staff and UC Botanical Garden volunteers.
