On March 6, 2026, artist Peter Krashes led a guided tour of his new exhibition at SLOMA. Accompanied by SLOMA’s Chief Curator Emma Saperstein, the artist gave viewers a glimpse into his artistic process and the creation of this exhibition.
Passage Through, New York–based artist Peter Krashes’ first solo exhibition on the West Coast, uses paintings of old and new construction, atmospheric details of public meetings, and ordinary yet meaningful aspects of community work to focus on daily experience in an ever-changing world. For nearly two decades, Krashes was deeply engaged as a community activist, and this lived experience shapes the work throughout the exhibition. Passage Through turns our attention to interstitial spaces and events—what is found in between, at the edges of our awareness, in the overlooked, and in the margins of our vision.
Passage Through is presented thanks to Hotel SLO and Frameworks. Additional support for SLOMA’s free public programs in provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Peter Krashes: Passage Through is on view in SLOMA’s Nybak Gallery through June 28, 2026.
