House of Seiko is currently presenting Group Shoe 3, a group exhibition curated by Mario Ayala featuring work by 176 artists from his community of friends and collaborators.

This is the third iteration of Ayala’s group show series (the last occurring at Public Access in New York, opening the same week as his solo show at Jeffrey Deitch), and features artists working in various mediums, scales, and at various points in their careers. 

Ayala writes that “it's been important to me to highlight my community and the people who have been alongside me during my time as an artist, whether they are childhood friends or new acquaintances. It's been a steady reason to celebrate and gather together in new spaces.”

An additional layer of personal importance comes from the fact that San Francisco is where Ayala began to focus as an artist, where he completed his undergrad degree at SFAI and had some of his first exhibitions, and now, his first institutional show. 

Group Shoe 3 is on view through September 17 @ House of Seiko, 3109 22nd Street, San Francisco, CA
