Judging from countless references to "Summers of Love," enthusiastic rock 'n roll movies, and a psychedelic exhibition at the Whitney, Americans are currently smitten with the '60s. SFAI's We Remember the Sun celebrates the vitality that erupted in those fervent years (particularly in our own Bay Area) with the work of 15 modern Californians who draw inspiration from the period's idealism without succumbing to blind nostalgia. Included are Shaun O'Dell's video exploration of eschatological associations with the sun; Jill Miller's filmed chronicle of a search for Sasquatch; and, to close the show, an interpretation of the '60s tensions between hope and dismay by performance masters L.M. Bogad and Praba Pilar.
