With the Golden Gate Bridge framing container ships and windsurfers...
...Saturday afternoon at Crissy Field provided a good reminder of why we live in this expensive and maddening city.
Earlier this year, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art installed eight monumental sculptures by the 80-year-old Mark Di Suvero for a year-long residence.
They seem to have been happily adopted as playground equipment...
...benches for walkers...
...and sentinels...
...guarding the Presidio...
...while mirroring the nearby Golden Gate Bridge.
This weekend they also served as handy markers for the wandering musicians of Crissy Broadcast, Lisa Bielawa's hour-long spatial piece that involved dozens of musical ensembles meandering away from a central location into the great beyond.
More on that to come.
My daughter recently participated at a rock climbing competition right across the street from these sculptures, and my husband and I had to work mightily to keep her from climbing them. Had I but seen your photos, I might not have tried so hard. Next time we're up I'll have to look the other way.
ReplyDeleteNoticed these the other day ... thanks for enlightening me as to provenance. :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange that DiSuvero's work is perfect there? But only there.
