  • FOR-SITE visited “Joan Jonas: They Come to Us without a Word” at @fortmasoncenter today and were struck by the installation “Nine Trees.” The work was originally made for the courtyard of the U.S. Pavilion in Venice, and consisted of trunks harvested from Certosa Island, a former military site in the Venetian Lagoon. Fittingly, the piece at Fort Mason incorporates eucalyptus trees from @presidiosf (also a former military site). As with the rest of “They Come to Us without a Word,” the piece speaks to the human impact on nature and existing ecosystems. The Presidio eucalyptus used in the work is a non-native species that was planted by the U.S. Army in the 1880’s, and fundamentally changed the landscape from windswept sand to the existing park forest. __ Joan Jonas: They Come to Us without a Word” is on view in Gallery 308 @fortmasoncenter Wed. - Sat. Noon to 8pm and Sun. 11am to 5pm through March 10. Admission is free, but reserving tickets in advance via the Fort Mason website is strongly encouraged. __ #ArtAboutPlace #PublicArt #ArtAtTheFort
  • A burst of sun amidst the storm had us running outside to take in the moment of reprieve. And there it was — a lovely rainbow 🌈 Having an office at @fortmasoncenter definitely has its #WorkPerks.
  • Didn’t snag an RSVP to @cheryllhaines’ sold-out talk February 6? Don’t worry — a video of the event will be posted to the @thachergalleryusf’s YouTube channel a week or so later. We’ll be sure to direct you there once it’s available! __ Bonus: February 6 is also the Community Town Hall hosted by San Francisco Arts Commission and Grants for the Arts where they will share the proposed plan for implementing the new Arts Impact Endowment Fund and father feedback from the public.
