Spotlight on Bay Area feminist artist: Bay Area artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson has for years been producing works addressing issues that seem ripped from today’s headlines: censorship and repression, surveillance, the social impact of technology, women’s rights. Now the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco is hosting “Civic Radar,” the first U.S. career retrospective of Leeson, covering works in more traditional media from the early 1960s to the installations, performance pieces and new media projects that have defined her later career. Details: Through May 21; 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday; 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday; $10 admission to gallery; www.ybca.org.— Randy McMullen, Staff.
