Ms. Shiffler reported that Patricia Diart, one of the artists in the exhibition The Dust Never Settles, will be in residence throughout the summer in the gallery’s window installation space at 155 Grove Street. At the suggestion of Richard Newirth, Director of Cultural Affairs, Ms. Shiffler contacted NORCAL and secured a $2,000 honorarium for Ms. Diart. This honorarium will allow Ms. Diart to spend more time in residence in the Grove Street Window space.

- Argonne Playground
Project Manager Tonia Macneil presented a conceptual design proposal by artist Joyce Hsu for artwork at Argonne Playground. She presented the Commissioners with visual material and explained that this is a small project that has been delayed since 2004. Ms. Hsu has proposed creating two dragonflies fashioned from cut and painted aluminum, which will be placed at the two playground gates. The final design will be presented at the May Visual Arts Committee meeting.
Motion: Motion to approve the conceptual design proposal by artist Joyce Hsu for artwork at Argonne Playground and to authorize the Director of Cultural Affairs to enter into contract with Joyce Hsu for the design, development, fabrication, transportation and consultation during the installation of artwork for an amount not to exceed $25,000.

- Harvey Milk Recreation Center
Project Manager Tonia Macneil presented a conceptual proposal for artwork by the artist team of Susan Schwartzenberg and Michael Davis for installation at the Harvey Milk Recreation Center. The artists have been working in collaboration with the architectural firm of Lemanski Rockwell Architects, and have conceived of a design that will celebrate the life and vision of Harvey Milk while highlighting the programs of the Center, which serves as a dynamic resource for drama, music, dance and photography for the entire city of San Francisco. Ms. Macneil showed the Commissioners several drawings of the artists’ proposal.
Inspired by pre-existing built in display cases, the artists propose to build an additional set of display cases that will house memorabilia including, among other things, remnants of past music, theatre and dance productions. They also propose a ladder-like structure incorporating a camera obscura offering a view of the nearby park, and, on the lower level, a laminated glass photo wall composed of images created by past and present members of the photography center. Additionally, the artists hope to make use of the oculus (skylight) in the main lobby designed by the architects to brighten the interior of the center. If the budget allows, the concrete floor of the lobby will be upgraded by the addition of mica, and quotes from Harvey Milk will be sandblasted into the floor and the glass panel leading to the performance area. If the skylight is deleted in the final drawings, the artists intend to specify the installation of a theatrical light fixture on a timer to provide a similar lighting effect.
Commissioner Przyblyski commented that the proposal does a wonderful job of honoring Harvey Milk without building a shrine to him. Commissioner Rinder expressed concern that while he liked all the elements in the design, he felt they did not work in a cohesive manner. All of the Commissioners agreed that there needed to be more unity between the various elements, but that they appreciated the adherence to a modest budget and a tight timeline.
Motion: Motion to approve the conceptual proposal for artwork by the artist team of Susan Schwartzenberg and Michael Davis for installation at the Harvey Milk Recreation Center.

- Ocean Avenue K-Line Street Improvements
Project Manager Tonia Macneil stated that the Visual Arts Committee approved the design and location of three large mosaic spheres designed by Laurel True in 2005. The spheres were to be installed on three corners of the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Granada Avenue. In accordance with City policy, the Arts Commission applied for a Major Sidewalk Encroachment Permit. At that time it came to light that one of the three locations is private property, and is owned by the Ingleside Presbyterian Church. Therefore Ms. Macneil is asking for an easement, or other long-term agreement, between the City and County of San Francisco and the Ingleside Presbyterian Church, for long-term or permanent installation of public art on the proposed section of private property. The church has been very amenable to this arrangement, and has agreed to grant an easement or lease to the portion of sidewalk in question.
Ms. Macneil went on to explain that an easement would involve funds for a title search, a land survey and a plat of the site, costing approximately $7,000, prior to writing a legal grant of easement. She would work with the City Attorney to develop the appropriate language for the easement or other document. Conversely, a simple lease, while limiting the City's control over the site, would not involve expenditure of such funds. Ms. Macneil explained that the advantage of an easement is that it provides maximum protection against the possibility of a change in ownership of the property. As this is an unlikely possibility, Ms. Macneil recommends that we utilize the more cost-effective lease agreement.
Motion: Motion to approve the negotiation and acceptance of an easement, or other long-term agreement, between the City and County of San Francisco and the Ingleside Presbyterian Church, for long-term or permanent installation of public art on the section of its private property not used as a public sidewalk, located at 1345 Ocean Avenue in San Francisco (Block 6942, Lot 50).

- Glen Park Branch Library
Project Manager Judy Moran gave an update on the status of the Glen Park Branch Library. Originally, the artist team of Jeff Northam and Rufus Butler Seder were recommended by the Glen Park Branch Community Artist Selection Committee to create a series of tiles for the new library using Lifetiles, a proprietary product of Seder's, which would give the murals the illusion of movement as viewers passed by. The artists submitted three proposals to the Arts Commission and the Glen Park Library staff over a period of several months. The overall scale of the murals as well as the scope of movement was not as extensive as expected, and the first two proposals incorporated images from Seder's database. Both Arts Commission and Library staff requested original imagery that reflected the Glen Park neighborhood. Seder decided at this point that he was not able to supply original images specific to Glen Park within the project budget, and he withdrew from the project. Northam proposed proceeding with the project alone, substituting a plastic laminate material that also had a 3D motion effect with a collage of his photographs that depicted limited movement. The Commissioners agreed with the Arts Commission and Library staff assessment that the substitute plastic laminate material had a commercial feel that was not appropriate for the Glen Park Branch Library. The Commissioners also agreed with staff that they preferred not to continue with Northam alone, without the Lifetiles. Commissioner Przyblyski congratulated Ms. Moran on her heroic efforts to make this project work, and stated that the Commissioners were appreciative of the time and effort on the part of the artists.
Motion: Motion to rescind Resolution 0712-04-154 authorizing the Director of Cultural Affairs to enter into contract in an amount not to exceed $36,000 with the artist team of Jeff Northam and Rufus Butler Seder to design, fabricate and install an artwork for the new Glen Park Branch Library.

Motion: Motion to pay an honorarium to the artist team of Jeff Northam and Rufus Butler Seder in the amount of $1,250 for the development of three preliminary proposal sketches for an artwork for the new Glen Park Branch Library.
Moved: Hunter/Rinder
Ms. Moran stated that both Arts Commission and Library staff recommend proceeding with the alternate artist team selected by the Glen Park Branch Community Artist Selection Panel. Due to a lack of sufficient resources, Ms. Moran stated that it would not be possible to initiate a new artist selection process.
Ms. Moran presented work samples from the alternate artist team of Reddy Lieb and Linda Raynsford. Ms. Lieb creates stained glass windows and Ms. Raynsford works with metal. This artist team initially proposed creating a wall sculpture with metal and glass for the Glen Park Branch Library. The Commissioners stated their confidence in going forward with this alternate artist team.
Motion: Motion to approve the artist team of Reddy Lieb and Linda Raynsford, the alternate artist team recommended by the Glen Park Branch Community Artist Selection Panel, to design, fabricate, and deliver an artwork for the new Glen Park Branch Library.

- Potrero Branch Library
Project Manager Judy Moran stated that the Potrero Branch Community Artist Selection Panel had unanimously recommended artist Gina Telcocci to create an artwork for the renovated Potrero Branch Library. Commissioner Rinder, who served on the artist selection panel, explained to the Commissioners that Ms. Telcocci had visited the Library and seemed to have a wonderful sense of excitement about the location. The Commissioners felt that while the work needed further development, it was dynamic and interesting. The Commissioners supported the directive given by the Artist Selection Panel for Ms. Telcocci to create a large hanging sculpture or group of sculptures for the two-story center of the Library, composed of natural materials, as depicted in the artist's application slides. The Commissioners also stated that it was very exciting to be working with a new artist.
Motion: Motion to approve artist Gina Telcocci recommended by the Potrero Branch Community Artist Selection Panel, to design, fabricate and transport an artwork for the renovated Potrero Branch Library.

- Ingleside Branch Library
Project Manager Judy Moran presented a preliminary proposal for a metal gate and fencing by artist Eric Powell for the new Ingleside Branch Library. Mr. Powell had been asked to work with the library architects, and this collaboration originally resulted in a gate on the right side of the facility with a fence that would stretch all the way to the Library patio. The preference of the architectural firm was to design a gate that was simple and linear to reflect the modern building aesthetic. However, the resulting designs appeared static, did not reflect the artist's aesthetic sensibility, and were not much more imaginative than a gate that might be mass-produced. Ms. Moran has asked the artist to limit his scope of work to the gate and just eight feet of the fence in order to allow Mr. Powell to invest his time and resources in a more elaborate and detailed design. Mr. Powell submitted a new design that also was deemed by Arts Commission and Library staff to be too limited. Ms. Moran is presenting the design to the Commissioners at this point in the hopes that they can offer useful feedback, and to approve the siting of the artwork.
The Commissioners also want to encourage Mr. Powell to create a deisgn that is more imaginative, while remaining compatible with the modern aesthetic of the building. Commissioner Hunter suggested the artist research the design aesthetic of the de Stijl movement. All the Commissioners agreed that this was a potentially wonderful project that was worth pursuing.
Motion: Motion to approve a preliminary proposal for a metal gate and adjacent fencing by artist Eric Powell for the new Ingleside Branch Library.

- Sunnyside Clubhouse
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton Presented the work of Deborah Kennedy and Bill Gould from the pre-qualified artist pool for the design and implementation of a public art project at the Sunnyside Clubhouse for a total contract amount not to exceed $30,000, including architectural credits for railing panels.
Ms. Manton stated that due to lack of a March Visual Arts Committee meeting, the time frame for design and the modest size of the budget, she chose to select an artist from the pre-qualified artist pool rather than using a selection panel. Both artists have worked extensively in metal and glass. Ms. Kennedy will design, fabricate and deliver fence panel inserts and other discrete metal elements for the project. Ms. Manton explained that Mr. Gould will fabricate the artwork using water-jet cut steel coated with Tnemec. The Commissioners felt this was a good solution considering the modest budget allocation.
This Motion has been amended
Motion: Motion to approve the selection of Deborah Kennedy for the design and implementation of a public art project at the Sunnyside Clubhouse for a total contract amount not to exceed $30,000.

- Hayes Green Temporary Projects
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton stated that the selection panel for the Hayes Green Temporary Projects was successful, and though we did not get as many applicants as we would have liked, the two we chose are wonderful.
Ms. Manton presented the Selection Panel's recommendation of a proposal from Wowhaus for a miniature golf installation featuring sculptures of Hayes Valley historic landmarks, and a proposal from Seyed Alavi for a gold-colored cloth gateway.
The artist team Wowhaus worked on a past Art on Market Street project that involved recording the sounds of Market Street, which were broadcast from a sculptural metal kiosk moved to various Market Street locations. The audio was also recorded onto a CD that was distributed free on Market Street. This very successful project was featured by KQED as part of the Spark series, and met with tremendously positive public response.
Wowhaus’ current proposal will use scale replicas of Hayes Valley landmarks to construct a miniature golf course on Hayes Green, which the team will operate on successive Saturdays over a six-month period Additionally, they will coordinate walking tours, and hold an outdoor film screening of “Greed,” originally shot in an 1880’s mansion that still stands in Hayes Valley.
Ms. Manton then presented the work of Seyed Alavi. Mr. Alavi has worked on a variety of public art projects, including one in which he collaborated with teenagers to produce self-portraits that were installed in the large plate glass windows in the parking garage at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Mr. Alavi proposed an arch that will be installed on Hayes Green. The arch resembles the Arc de Triomphe in its form, but is built entirely of small squares of gold-colored cloth, which will be illuminated at night. The gold cloth references both the discovery of gold in California, and links to the “family of gold” in San Francisco, as in the Golden Gate Bridge and the Golden Gate Park. Mr. Alavi had proposed to have community members inscribe the cloth with their personal stories, hopes and dreams. Ms. Manton and the Commissioners both agreed that the project would be stronger without this element. Commissioner Rinder expressed concern that the piece resembled Christo’s Gates in New York ’s Central Park, but that perhaps this could be solved using cloth that was more gold-colored than the orange proposed by Mr. Alavi. Commissioner Zhao pointed out that the cloth used would have to be fireproof. Ms. Manton stated that Mr. Alavi is enthusiastic about this project and she is certain he will welcome the Commissioners’ recommendations.
Motion: Motion to approve the Hayes Green Temporary Projects selection panel's recommendation of a proposal from Wowhaus for a historic, site-specific miniature golf installation featuring sculptures of Hayes Valley landmarks for a total amount not to exceed $20,000.

- Golden Gate Park
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton presented the sculpture “Dreamer” by artist Pepe Ozan. The piece will be installed in Golden Gate Park in a meadow adjacent to JFK Drive, two blocks from the de Young Museum, for a period not to exceed six months. Ms. Manton first presented this piece informally to the Visual Arts Committee in February. Subsequently, Commissioner Wilsey and John Buchanan, Director of the Fine Arts Museum, reviewed images of the sculpture and both responded favorably to the sculpture and its temporary placement.
Ms. Manton introduced Pepe Ozan, who further explained his sculpture to the Commissioners. He stated that the sculpture was inspired by the work of Magritte, as well as the theme of last year’s Burning Man, where it was originally installed. While at Burning Man, the rear of the head was open, and viewers were able to walk inside. For reasons of public safety, this will not be possible at the Golden Gate Park location.
Motion: Motion to approve the temporary exhibition of a sculpture by Pepe Ozan in Golden Gate Park at a green open space adjacent to JFK Drive for a period not to exceed six months.

- San Francisco International Airport
Public Art Program Deputy Director Susan Pontious presented the Airport Gate Room Walls Selection Panel's recommendation of proposals by the two project finalists, Joyce Hsu and Hung Liu, to be commissioned for gate room walls in Boarding Area A. Ms. Pontious explained that all four artists were very strong, and that the panel's final decision was unanimous. Although the panel was only able to choose two artists, it was the panel's recommendation that if funding was available, the other two finalists, Richard Misrach and Clare Rojas, should be commissioned as well.
Ms. Pontious first presented the work of Joyce Hsu. Ms. Hsu’s large sculptural relief mural uses the layout of the airport terminals as an underlying graphic design motif, first as a painted layer and then as a cutout form in aluminum, topped with 3-dimensional sculptural flowers and insects. Artist Hung Liu provided three alternate proposals. The panel selected the proposal depicting a boy chasing an egret in a central rectangle, flanked by two smaller squares, one showing a bird taking off, and one a bird landing. The artist proposes using a material and process she has developed working with Trillium Press, which consists of layers of painted resin panels. The Commission expressed concern that the resin material coating Ms. Liu’s piece might prove too glossy for the airport, where the light from large windows might make it difficult to view. Ms. Pontious stated that Ms. Liu is aware of this problem, and is looking into using a lower-gloss pearl finish.
Ms. Pontious next presented the work of Richard Misrach. Mr. Misrach submitted two images. Both images were aerial images: the first displayed a sandy beach populated with sunbathers, the second showed beachgoers swimming in the ocean. Commissioner Zhao commented that he preferred the water image, but that it was not an appropriate image for viewers about to board a plane. Public Art Program Director Jill Manton felt the ocean piece was the stronger of the two because of the luminescent quality of the water, but stated that the airport is sensitive to any image that might reference a crash. Finally, Ms. Pontious presented the work of Claire Rojas. Commissioner Zhao appreciated the delicate linear quality of the work, and all the Commissioners agreed her work would function well at the airport.
Ms. Pontious said that the Airport Art Steering Committee (“AASC”) was meeting on April 20, and that prioritization of sites for the use of the remainder of the Airport Art Enrichment funds was one of the items on the agenda. If the AASC supported use of the remaining funds on the gate rooms, then the Commission could proceed with commissioning the work of Richard Misrach and Clare Rojas for Boarding Area G. The Committee supported this direction, and authorized staff to proceed on working with Mr. Misrach and Ms. Rojas if there was consensus on the AASC.
Motion: Pending approval of the proposal by the Airport Art Steering Committee and the Airport Commission, motion to authorize the Director of Cultural Affairs to enter into an agreement with Joyce Hsu and Hung Liu, as recommended by the Airport Gate Room Walls Selection Panel, for an amount not to exceed $100,000 to design, fabricate a work of art for two gate room walls at San Francisco International Airport.

- Minnie and Lovie Recreation Center
This has been postponed to the May Visual Arts Committee Meeting.
- Policy Update
Public Art Program Director Jill Manton reported on pending policy items as follows.
1. Mayor’s proposed policy to discuss citywide consolidation of public art project management: Ms. Manton reported that we are still waiting for the Mayor to convene a meeting with the Department of City Planning and the Redevelopment Agency. This consolidation might allow for private development percent-for-art dollars to be deposited into a public art trust fund, which may be used to fund public art projects throughout the city. Commissioner Przyblyski stated that she has a meeting scheduled with the Mayor and will discuss this issue.
2. Administrative code change to authorize the Arts Commission to manage art-related construction contracts: This change would allow the Arts Commission to manage art-related construction projects instead of having to work through other departments such as the Department of Public Works.
3. Harvey Milk Memorial Bust: Ms. Manton reported that the Arts Commission has been asked to commission a bust of Harvey Milk, utilizing traditional portraiture, to be installed at City Hall.
4. District Reports: Ms. Manton presented a sample report that might serve as a template for other district reports. It included visuals and text of completed Public Art Program projects in one of the eleven supervisorial districts. Ms. Manton explained that we will complete such reports for all eleven of the San Francisco districts, including the San Francisco International Airport.
5. Ms. Manton reported on an upcoming public meeting regarding the Broadway Streetscape Project, which will be co-sponsored by the Arts Commission and the Department of Public Works. The Department of Public Works will report on the status of their design work and the Arts Commission will discuss the proposed location of a sculpture by Brian Goggin at the intersection of Broadway and Columbus.
14. McLaren Park/La Grande Tank Replacement
This has been postponed to the May Visual Arts Committee Meeting.
- New Business
Discussion of the Art on Market Street program
Ms. Manton reported Muni’s twelve year contract for outdoor transit advertising is drawing to a close. This current contract provides a percentage of Muni’s advertising funds to support the Art on Market Street program in addition to the Youth Arts fund which is overseen by the Community Arts and Education program. Muni recently conducted a study of how other cities manage similar contracts and found that the Chicago Transit Authority has negotiated for the design and construction of street furniture and bus shelters, in addition to a substantial cash contribution, as part of their contract for transit advertising.
In light of Muni’s twenty million dollar deficit, they were evaluating their priorities and the use of funding generated by the advertising revenue. The direct benefit to Muni of both the Art on Market Street and Youth Arts fund was questioned. As the result of the efforts of the Arts Commission staff, Ms. Manton believes that Muni will include the Arts Commission as part of the new RFP to be issued for a new contract for transit shelter advertising.
Project Manager Judy Moran stated that this discussion will be continued at the May Visual Arts Meeting.
