""Five months after the installation of R-Evolution, the giant metal sculpture of a nude woman in Embarcadero Plaza, and just two months since the appearance of the sea-serpent Naga in Golden Gate Park, the Sijbrandij Foundation has unveiled the latest piece of "big art" in San Francisco. Sijbrandij hopes to get other funders interested in the project, explaining that it will take "a lot of effort and probably other donors" to reach the project goal of 100 artworks.""
""One of the highlights was the beautiful art," he said. "We've always wondered why you could have that beautiful art there, but it wasn't anywhere else. And Burning Man is - although it's a very inclusive community - it's not very inclusive to get there. It's expensive and impractical for people to visit. So we're really excited to bring some of the Burning Man arts to the city. With the caveat that, like, half of it isn't from Burning Man.""
The Sijbrandij Foundation unveiled the latest installation in San Francisco's Big Art Loop following earlier works such as R-Evolution and the Naga sea-serpent. The initiative aims to place 100 large-scale public artworks along the waterfront and seeks additional funders and donors to meet that target. Current and upcoming pieces include Dana Albany's Coralee at Pier 1/2 and works by Peter Hazel, El Nino, Mathias Gmachl, Kristen Berg, Davis McCarty, Michael Christian, Bryan Tedrick, DeWitt Godfrey and Chris Wollard. Many of the waterfront pieces first debuted at Burning Man. The project arrives alongside San Francisco Arts Commission efforts to site temporary public artworks amid a monuments audit.
