Your Asian Art Museum: Free “Phantoms” This Sunday! Korean Culture Day Sept 23! Origami Graffiti!
Friday, August 31st, 2012OMG, your world-class Asian Art Museum is busy busy busy these days.
First up is the origami paper-crane pop-up graffiti bombing of the McAllister wall.
Get all the deets from the Uptown Almanac, the San Francisco Chronicle and KGO-ABC.
Here’s how it’s holding up, last night…
…and the day before:
It’s persevering, huh?
Next up is the closing of the Big Show, check it:
CLOSING THIS SUNDAY
Just as this exhibition has touched upon the fleeting nature of life, it too must come to an end. An expansive exploration of spirituality, cosmic order, and the afterlife, it’s a provocative presentation of both contemporary art and older objects from our collection. The result is a one-of-a-kind journey transcending time and place. Phantoms will go out with a bang: everyone can see it for FREE this Sunday, as part of our Target First Free Sunday.”
I’d recommend showing up early or late on Sept 2, 2012. Feel free to practice your Gangnam Style while waiting in line. Speaking of which, don’t forget about:
Sunday, September 23
11 am–4 pm
Museum-wide
Free admission”
All the deets on that after the jump.

San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel is a highly traveled thoroughfare in the heart of the city. Over 20,000 cars, trucks, and motorized vehicles pass through it per day. Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint covered graffiti from days gone by. It set the perfect canvas to create a beautiful work of art showcasing the talents of reverse graffiti artist “Moose”, and the power of Green Works plant based cleaner. |

Know Your Monoliths of Market Street – The Crown-Zellerbach Building at One Bush Plaza
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010This monolith looks like it just sidled up to One Bush Plaza all of a sudden one day…
Try to control yourself as you pass by…

Learn all about the Mad Men-era building at One Bush Street:
“One Bush Plaza also known as the Crown-Zellerbach Building is an office building on from Bush Street and Battery Street at Market Street in the Financial District of San Francisco, California. The 20 storey 94 metres (308 ft) building was completed in 1959.
The building was once the headquarters of the Crown-Zellerbach, a Fortune 500 forestry and paper products conglomerate acquired in 1986 by the James River Company, which in turn became a part of Georgia-Pacific in 2000. Later it was the headquarters of Hambrecht & Quist. The building was the first significant downtown San Francisco structure erected in the 30 years following the start of the Great Depression, and as such was the first International Style glass curtain wall building in San Francisco and second curtain wall International Style building in the United States, being built shortly after the Lever House.
It is controversial due to the decision for the building to face Bush St. instead of Market St., Market St. being in decline during the time it was built. It is notable for taking up an entire city block and being freestanding. It is directly facing the Shell Building, an iconic Art Deco skyscraper in San Francisco.
The architectural firm of this building was Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill.
Unprecedented: SFPD Now Using Social Media to Issue “Critical Mass Advisory”
Thursday, March 25th, 2010Of course 1.5 star-rated Critical Mass is a monthly staffing headache for the SFPD, so it’s in the habit of issuing Critical Mass Advisories and making posts on its unfrequented website.
But these days, the SFPD is publicly reaching out and using that social media as well. See? Go scrawl on their Facebook Wall if you want. It’s totally wide open.
Now, the SFPD made the same Tweet last month, but February’s CritMa had a forecast of lots of rain so the turnout of bike riders was low. Tomorrow should be sunny, and what with Daylight Savings Time kicking in we should have a rocking Critical Mass with plenty of attendees.
When, if ever, will pondering Police Chief George Gascon drop the bomb on CM? (You gotta know that he wants to.)
Will it be March 26th, 2010?
See you there.
