  • The location of our upcoming project "Sanctuary" -- inside the @fortmasoncenter Chapel -- is a fitting one. Post chapels served as nondenominational places of worship and familiar gathering spots for servicemen and -women, who were often stationed far from home and family. As such, they provided valuable sources of comfort and uplift during difficult times. Learn more about the decommissioned Chapel and the history of Fort Mason by visiting the link in our profile. #ArtAboutPlace #Sanctuary 📷: Fort Mason Chapel, 1945; US Army
  • FOR-SITE is excited to announce our upcoming exhibition, "Sanctuary" (October 7, 2017–March 11, 2018). Installed in the @fortmasoncenter Chapel, the exhibition will feature the work of 36 international artists considering the nature of sanctuary through an interactive installation of hand-woven prayer rugs, offering a multiplicity of perspectives on this basic human need. To learn more, read the NYT article announcing the project -- link in profile. #ArtAboutPlace #Sanctuary
  • Today we're remembering #LiuXiaobo, a political dissident and prisoner of conscience who passed away July 13th under Chinese custody. @aiww included Xiaobo in the Alcatraz installation "Yours Truly" where visitors to the exhibition could write postcards to prisoners of conscience. Xiaobo received over 500 postcards, including this one from @nancypelosi. Xiaobo was, and continues to be, a source of inspiration and strength to people across the world. Rest In Peace.
  • It was an incredible few days in D.C. For FOR-SITE -- in particular, facilitating the meeting of two remarkable people, @aiww and Chelsea Manning.
