Sculpture by the Sea

I think these sculptures are awesome. I am really impressed that Sydney has brough them in for so many years.

San Francisco has recently started bringing in large scale art pieces to the Hayes Valley and Civic center areas and I love it. Most are from Burning Man, so there is an obvious connection with the pieces, but I also love having LARGE scale art added to our community. The scale is what moves me most -- perhaps I am in awe of the ability of the artist to grow a small scale model into a towering structure that reaches out and touches so many people. Tons of respect for that.

I would love to see a living room competition one weekend in the city. At all of the different landmarks and on Ocean Beach, a competition to create the most comfortable, open air living room. Imagine a set of couches, chair, reading lights, coffee tables, and magazine racks in the middle of Golden Gate. You could put your feet up and watch a soccer match. Sitting in an Eames Chair and watching the surf crash on Ocean Beach. Sitting in Dolores Park, soaking in the sun, looking across the Bay Bridge and SF Skyline -- however you are on a comfy couch, wrapped in a soft blanket, hanging with your friends. That would be a great art installation...
