- Art on Market Temporary Projects Program
Project Manager Judy Moran gave an update on “The Endangered Seed Project,” by artists Virginia Hopkins and Victoria Carlson, proposed for temporary installation on the rear wall of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as part of the Art on Market Street 2004-2005 Temporary Projects Program. Ms. Moran stated that the proposal, which consists primarily of large banners of enlarged images of endangered seeds, with a public talk and related material for public distribution, was originally conceived for the front of the Ferry Building. The Ferry Building management company declined to support the project, so the artists explored Market Street for an alternate site that would be appropriate in terms of scale, accessibility and context. The artists were very excited about placing the artwork on the rear of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and prepared a proposal for this location.
Ms. Moran reminded the Commissioners that at their September, 2004 meeting, the Visual Arts Committee reviewed the artists’ proposal for the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and declined to support the installation of the artwork at that site due to the scale and proposed layout of the banners on the rear facade of the building. They requested that the artists and staff do further exploration for another location. Staff explored relocating the work to the United Nations Plaza, and was excited to learn that the artwork might be considered for inclusion at that site for World Environment Day in early June. Although the proposal was received with great enthusiasm by staff of the Department of the Environment and the Department of Public Works, a determination was made that the United Nations Plaza pillars and poles would not be available due to conflicts arising from redevelopment of the site. However, although the artwork may not be placed at United Nations Plaza, it is highly likely that the project can still be considered as part of World Environment Day.
Recently the artists' enthusiasm for the Civic Auditorium site has increased, and they have spent more time developing and refining their proposal for that site. Ms. Moran introduced artist Virginia Hopkins, who explained that their revised proposal calls for one large banner which would cover the entire rear façade of the Graham Civic Auditorium. She presented various revised banner designs and requested that Commissioners indicate which direction they prefer. Ms. Hopkins presented material samples of the mesh banner fabric.
Commissioner Solomon stated that she prefers the one large banner to the previous proposal, which included multiple smaller banners. She recommended that the artists use the simplest design with a focus on the seed.
Commissioner Przyblyski suggested that any interpretive text and project brochure should include an explanation of how the banner imagery relates to the history of the site.
Ms. Moran stated that the project will have to be on a fast track so that it can be presented as part of World Environment Day in June.
Motion: Motion to approve the revised proposal for “The Endangered Seed Project,” by artists Virginia Hopkins and Victoria Carlson, for temporary installation on the rear wall of the Civic Center Auditorium as part of the Art on Market Street 2004-2005 Temporary Projects Program.

- Presentation by A New Leaf Gallery
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton introduced Brigitte Micmacker, John Denning, and Stephanie Everett from A New Leaf Gallery, which recently relocated to San Francisco from Berkeley. The gallery’s new location in San Francisco is in the Convention Plaza Office Building adjacent to the Moscone Parking Garage.
Ms. Micmacker stated that they are seeking support from the Arts Commission on their endeavor to have ongoing temporary sculpture exhibitions on the plaza where their gallery is located. She added that Arts Commission support is needed before the Redevelopment Agency will give the gallery approval to use the plaza.
Ms. Everett distributed presentation materials including proposal images showing how the sculptures would look in the plaza. Mr. Denning explained that the pieces would be located on various sites around the plaza, all about 20’ to 25’ apart from one another. He stated that the gallery will procure the necessary insurance and proper city permits. Mr. Denning presented sample signage that would be used to identify the artwork. Arts Commission Gallery Director Rupert Jenkins suggested that A New Leaf Gallery install ADA-compliant signage.
The Commissioners stated that they are supportive of A New Leaf’s proposal. Commissioner Przyblyski stated that the plaza exhibitions should be curated so that the plaza doesn’t look like a bazaar. Mr. Denning stated that the proposal materials indicate all the potential exhibition sites, but the gallery does not wish to fill the plaza. Ms. Manton stated that although the gallery proposal looks good, she recommended that the Arts Commission approve the motion for a period of six months subject to review for a longer period.
The motion was revised as follows:
Motion: Motion to approve a temporary exhibition of sculpture from A New Leaf Gallery — Sculpturesite, Inc. in Moscone Convention Plaza for a period of six months subject to review by the Arts Commission in order to extend the term.

- Gallery Report
Gallery Director Rupert Jenkins announced that he would be leaving his position as of June 3, 2005. However, he is curating a show that opens on June 22, so he may be at the gallery leading up to that show. Mr. Jenkins distributed a press book to the Commissioners that contains exhibition reviews from 2004. He reported that the Gallery Advisory Board will be having their annual retreat on May 7 and welcomed any interested Commissioner to attend. He stated that the Advisory Board is starting its planning for the next fundraiser, which will happen on October 15. Mr. Jenkins announced that there is a reception for a new exhibition by William Swanson at 155 Grove Street on March 18. There is also a reception in City Hall on April 15 for the following new exhibitions: “Stories of the City,” by 6th Street Photography Workshop, “Making Connections: Career Waitresses of San Francisco” by Candacy Taylor, and “A Kid’s Eye View: Photographic Opportunities on a School Day” by teacher and photographer Jillian Eierweiss and her students from a youth program at the Bayview Hunter's Point Community Beacon Center.
Mr. Jenkins continued his report by presenting slides of work by the artists for the proposed upcoming shows at the gallery and at 155 Grove Street. He explained that the exhibition he is curating is based on artists who use systems to create their work. He presented the work of the artists proposed for that exhibition: Bari Ziperstein, Nigel Poor, Christina Ray, Michael Banicki, Lee Walton, and Brad Brown. He also presented the work of the following artists for exhibitions at 155 Grove Street: Bill Swanson, Tauba Auerbach, and Midori Harima.

- Civic Art Collection Retreat Report
Deputy Director Nancy Gonchar distributed the Civic Art Collection retreat agenda and the action items that were developed at the retreat. She reported that the team discussed the following items at the retreat: the vision of the Civic Art Collection, the new database software, moving a selection of Collection files to the Library, the possibility of deaccessioning pieces from the Collection, and the development and establishment of a maintenance endowment.
Commissioner Przyblyski stated that she recently visited the Public Art Program in Portland, Oregon. She was impressed with their maintenance program and portable works program. She stated that it is important for the Arts Commission to think about how to maintain the collection. She is also interested in the Arts Commission having a portable collection of two-dimensional works, which could be loaned to other city departments for a fee.
- Branch Library Improvement Program
Project Manager Judy Moran gave an update on the Branch Library Improvement Art Enrichment Program. She stated that the Library has determined that the renovation of the Potrero Branch Library qualifies for art enrichment. Therefore, in addition to the five new branches, and the renovation of the Richmond Library, already included in the Branch Library Improvement Art Enrichment Plan, there is now a seventh project, the Potrero Branch Library.
Ms. Moran continued her report by presenting the final proposal for “A Library Book,” a wall artwork for the new Mission Bay Branch Library, by artist Vince Koloski. She stated that the artist proposed to install a Plexiglas artwork with etched text and historic images from a variety of cultures. The text will be illuminated with various color lights that are installed on the edges of the piece. Ms. Moran stated that the artwork will be visible from the street. She presented a mock-up of the Plexiglas book “pages.” As part of his proposal, the artist worked with a committee to select 12 specific quotes about books for the artwork from a list compiled in response to a public call for submissions. The quotes are in a variety of languages, and a booklet with translations of all of the quotes will be available at the Mission Bay Branch. Ms. Moran stated that the final text will be thoroughly edited to ensure that there are no grammatical mistakes or spelling errors.
Motion: Motion to approve the final design for “A Library Book,” a lighted Plexiglas wall artwork designed by artist Vince Koloski, for the new Mission Bay Branch Library.

- Laguna Honda Hospital
Project Manager Susan Pontious began her report by distributing revised proposal drawings by Owen Smith for the 9' x 9' painting and the lobby mural at Laguna Honda Hospital. She stated that the proposed artwork by Smith is reminiscent of the original WPA-era artwork in the hospital. Ms. Pontious added that the client requested that Smith revise his proposal to include more references to the Golden Gate Bridge. The artist submitted numerous new design options for each piece.
Ms. Pontious gave an update on Cheonae Kim’s tile project for the Aqua Therapy room at Laguna Honda Hospital. She stated that initially the project was to use architectural credits for the tile, but when the architects did the value engineering, the tile was eliminated, saving Laguna Honda Hospital $50,000. This change leaves the Arts Commission with three options: 1. Cancel the project; 2. Maintain the artist’s design by contributing the $50,000 from the art enrichment project budget; or 3. Authorize staff to investigate the possibility of increasing the contribution of art enrichment funds in order to upgrade the tile quality. Ms. Pontious presented samples of the previously approved project tiles and explained that the artist would be able to revise her design to improve the color palette if she had access to a wider variety of tiles. Ms. Pontious explained that because Laguna Honda Hospital will not be constructing the fourth building, the art projects for that building have been eliminated, which has resulted in additional unallocated art enrichment funds. She added that the client would like as much art as possible. Some of those unallocated funds could be used for the Aqua Therapy room or the funds could be used to commission work in other areas of the hospital.
Commissioner Przyblyski was supportive of spending additional unallocated funds on the Cheonae Kim project. Because the artist has been asked to redesign her proposal numerous times, Commissioner Przyblyski stated that the Arts Commission needs to allow the artist access to colors that better suit her typical palette. Commissioner Solomon stated that the artist should be able to work with tiles that are on the market. Ms. Pontious stated that the artist may not need a custom color, but she does need to have access to the full range of tiles. Commissioner Przyblyski stated that once the Arts Commission gives the artist direction, the Commissioners shouldn’t reopen the matter.
The motion was revised as follows:
Motion: Motion to approve the revised design of drawing “A” by Owen Smith depicting more of the Golden Gate bridge for a 9' x 9' painting for Laguna Honda Hospital.

- Moscone Center
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton gave an update on the Diller + Scofidio project. Ms. Manton stated that she has been having difficulties with Multimedia. She stated that while she is reluctant to resort to the liquidated damages clause of the contract, she is frustrated by Multimedia’s lack of attention to the project’s final stages.
Commissioner Draisin inquired whether the Arts Commission is planning to publicize the piece once it is operational. Commissioner Przyblyski suggested that any publicity should be planned after the problems with the project have been resolved. Ms. Manton stated that once the piece is working and the final inspection has been complete, Moscone requires that there be a 30-day waiting period before the artwork is operational. She added that any publicity event would have to be coordinated with Moscone’s convention schedule. Commissioner Przyblyski stated if there is a dedication event, the symphony has expressed an interest in performing at it.
- Hayes Green — Possible Temporary Public Art Exhibition
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton reported that the Arts Commission heard that the Mayor’s Office is interested in having a temporary artwork installed at the Hayes Green in conjunction with World Environment Day. He is particularly interested in having San Francisco host the David Best “Chapel” piece that was originally proposed for the City of San Rafael. Ms. Manton presented images of other chapels or temples created by the artist.
Ms. Manton reported that the artist would have a contract for this project through a nonprofit organization such as the Neighborhood Parks Council or another entity like Black Rock Arts Foundation. She stated that the budget for the project would likely be $20,000, which would include installation, insurance, de-installation, and an administrative fee for staff time. Ms. Manton stated that this project requires approval and a permit from the Department of Recreation and Parks.
Commissioner Draisin stated that she will begin raising funds for this project through Burning Man and the Black Rock Foundation. Commissioner Draisin stated that although David Best is well known for his flammable installations at Burning Man, this project is very different and she hopes that people will respect that this artwork is to function in a different way in the urban context.
- Academy of Sciences
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton stated that she had previously reported to the Commission that the Academy of Sciences project is over-budget due to the escalating cost of steel and concrete. She added that after challenging the legality of providing art enrichment from the 1995 Bond to no avail, the Academy staff have requested that the Arts Commission forego its allocation from this bond in light of their financial problems. The Commission has previously stated that this would be a dangerous and undesirable precedent to establish. The 1995 Bond is subject to the former version of the Art Enrichment Ordinance, which states that up to 2% of the total project cost is eligible for art enrichment. At the maximum 2% allocation, this would be $584,900.
Ms. Manton stated that she is sympathetic to the Academy's position and has tried to develop a reasonable budget proposal that will cover costs associated with the future maintenance endowment, provide an allowance for work performed by the General Contractor such as foundation and electrical work, and provide a project contingency in the event of unexpected problems. She has also proposed that any balance remaining from the contingency and General Contractor allowance would be returned to the Academy.
Director of Cultural Affairs Richard Newirth expressed concern about making any compromise, but added that any decision about his needs to be made by the Commissioners.
Commissioner Przyblyski stated that if the Arts Commission agrees to this compromise, it would be incredibly generous.
- Report on Request for Qualifications for 2005 Pre-Qualified Artist Pool
This report was continued to the next meeting.
- Airport
Project Manager Susan Pontious reported on a possible project featuring San Francisco’s “sister cities” at the San Francisco International Airport. Ms. Pontious stated that there is approximately $500,000 of unallocated Airport Art Enrichment funds. She added that the Airport Director, John Martin, has requested that the Arts Commission consider using these art enrichment funds to execute a project honoring San Francisco’s 15 sister cities. Ms. Pontious stated that this idea was originally conceived as a signage project as part of the initial construction of the International Terminal. Due to funding, the project was abandoned, but now has been resurrected as a possible art project.
Ms. Pontious stated that the original plan called for suspending Plexiglas panes between the seismic bracing. She reported that Ms. Manton proposed that artists from each of the sister cities could be identified to design a panel, which could then be executed in glass. Ms. Pontious estimated that the total project cost would be approximately $500,000. Ms. Pontious and Ms. Manton met with Ray Quesada (Bureau of Planning and Design) and Blake Summers (Director of the Airport Museum and Exhibition Program) to look at the sites and discuss the logistics of the project. Ms. Pontious recommended that the Airport find one or two sites that could support the weight of installing the artwork so that more of the art enrichment money could be spent on art and not on building weight-bearing support structures.
Ms. Pontious stated that another option is to design a structure that could hold multiple panels, thus possibly reducing the cost of installation. She will investigate this option further. She stated that the matter will be brought to the Airport Art Steering Committee at their next meeting.
Commissioner Przyblyski asked whether the Arts Commission might not just purchase an artwork from an artist in each of the 15 sister cities. Ms. Pontious stated that she would rather work with a glass fabricator to translate the 15 individual designs into a unified format so that there would be visual consistency.
Commissioner Przyblyski suggested that perhaps the Arts Commission could commission a “sister city”-themed artwork. She stated that it would be good to commission a work by an artist of global stature.
- Upper Noe Recreation Center
Project Manager Tonia Macneil reported on a new art enrichment project at Upper Noe Recreation Center. She presented the plans for the renovated recreation center, which includes seismic work, removal and repair of some architectural features, general building and grounds rehabilitation, and an updated children’s playground and path system. Ms. Macneil stated that this renovation will result in art enrichment funds of approximately $100,000. She added that the community is very involved with the planning for the renovations and there will be three community members on the selection panel for the art project. Ms. Macneil stated that while there is no obvious site for artwork on the recreation center and playgrounds, there are a number of possible sites including: the main gate at Day Street and the secondary gate on 30th Street; the fence surrounding the children’s playground; a small “plaza” in front of the building entrance; and the proposed pergola along the north-facing façade. She added that although no theme or direction for the artwork has been identified, the building’s gymnasium contains strong design elements that may inspire the direction of the artwork.
- Coffman Pool
This report was continued to the next meeting.
The following motion was continued to the next meeting.
Motion: Motion to approve the proposed imagery for the two window designs for the Coffman Pool Public Art Project.
- Joseph Lee Recreation Center
This report was continued to the next meeting.
- Juvenile Hall Replacement Project
Project Manager Kristen Zaremba gave an update on the Juvenile Hall Replacement project. She explained that due to the addition of support beams intersecting the eight dayroom soffits, and the revised proposal to execute the murals off-site prior to installation, the original designs have to be modified slightly. She presented the eight previously approved design proposals, images of the newly modified compositions for the wall treatments, and photo documentation of some sections currently being executed in the artists' studio, as requested by the Commissioners at the last Committee meeting. She stated that the artists plan to retain the color palette and application style of the original proposal, and that installation is scheduled to commence in early May 2005.
Motion: Motion to approve the proposed color selections and compositions for the eight dayroom soffits and mockup for the Juvenile Hall Replacement Project.

- Pulgas Water Temple Project
Project Manager Nina Dunbar gave a report on the City Attorney’s review of Resolution No. 0103-05-007 and ongoing discussions with the SFPUC about the future of the project. Ms. Dunbar explained that in December, 2004, the Visual Arts Committee reviewed the revised proposal of artist Tom Otterness and approved the following revised motions which were subsequently adopted by the Full Commission: 1. RESOLUTION NO. 0103-05-007: Motion to approve the selection of Tom Otterness as the artist to design, fabricate and install an artwork for the entry gates of the Pulgas Water Temple site; and 2. RESOLUTION NO. 0103-05-008: Motion to authorize the Director of Cultural Affairs to enter into a contract with Tom Otterness in an amount not to exceed $250,000 (pending PUC approval of additional funds) for design, fabrication, and installation of artwork for the entry gates of the Pulgas Water Temple.
Ms. Dunbar reported that at the S.F. Public Utilities Commission’s request, staff reviewed the second resolution with the City Attorney’s office to determine if raising the commission amount was in conflict with the publicly advertised RFQ, which listed a commission budget of $155,000. The City Attorney’s office advised against raising the commission amount without re-advertising the project. In response to this analysis, staff included two motions on today’s agenda that would rescind the earlier resolutions.
Ms. Dunbar stated that a final motion was added to cancel further consideration of this project until the completion of the SFPUC Public Art Master Plan. Ms. Dunbar recommended this motion based on the original selection panel’s tepid support of the original Otterness proposal and the conflicted responses received on his revised proposal from SFPUC staff and this Committee. She noted that the Pulgas Temple site presents few opportunities for public art due to its limited ADA accessibility. It is anticipated that the SFPUC Public Art Master Plan will offer alternative sites that will support large commissions by nationally prominent artists like Tom Otterness in the future.
Commissioner Przyblyski stated that she spoke with representatives at S.F. Public Utilities Commission and they agreed that this is a better solution.
Motion: Motion to rescind Resolution No. 0103-05-007 approving Tom Otterness as the artist to design, fabricate and install an artwork for the entry gates of the Pulgas Water Temple site.

- Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Center — Artist Finalists Approval
Project Manager Nina Dunbar gave an update on phase one of the artist selection process for the Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Center. She presented slides of the work of the following three finalists selected to interview for this project: Sandow Birk, Peter Richards, and Susan Schwartzenberg with Michael Davis.
Ms. Dunbar stated that the renovation of this facility initially was to be an upgrade primarily for ADA issues and public safety issues, but through the course of community meetings, a new theater was added to the plans. Regrettably, the funds necessary to pay for the added costs of the new building have not been raised. It is now possible that the theater will not be built. Ms. Dunbar stated that the artists were informed of this at the orientation and are aware that, if selected, they may be required to rethink their approach based on the possible elimination of this component of the project.
Motion: Motion to approve artists Sandow Birk, Peter Richards, and Susan Schwartzenberg with Michael Davis as finalists, and Lewis deSoto and Nancy Selvin as alternates, for the Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Center Public Art Project and to authorize the Director of Cultural Affairs to pay each finalist $300 to participate in an interview-based selection process with the panel.
