COME MEET THE ARTIST
Join the San Francisco Arts Commission and artist Primitivo Suarez-Wolfe to learn more about the new public artwork that will be installed at the intersection of Church and Duboce and plans for a new sculpture at the corner of Church and Market.

WHEN: Thursday, April 15, 2010, 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Harvey Milk Recreation Center, 50 Scott Street (at Duboce Avenue), Downstairs Exhibit Room

The Arts Commission recently approved artist Primitivo Suarez-Wolfe’s conceptual proposal for a series of new public artworks that will be implemented in conjunction with the Church and Duboce Streetscape Improvement Project. Inspired by the surrounding architecture and the history of the neighborhood, Primitivo proposed to create a series of steel chairs that, in addition to creating a distinct identity for the intersection, will provide much needed seating for the area. The artist will also design a vertical sculpture for the corner of Church and Market that will serve as a gateway feature for the neighborhood. This is your chance to meet with the artist and engage in a dialogue about his artwork concepts before he develops the designs for presentation to the Arts Commission.

Primitivo is a highly accomplished artist who has had several solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries in New York and Los Angeles as well as the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Through his art, he is interested in exploring the psychology of space and eliciting both a physical response and a psychological reaction through the built object.
