A poem for Earth Day:
No Argument BILL BERKSON
As cicadas split hairs at sunset skidmarks reel off frilly increments lifting on high the clear carnal sea Pure Saturnalia––be captivated if you can with that approximate yearning for borders like when you first heard the music whispered low What it was was Sprechstimme echo of life’s primordial Kunstwollen blank check of the air I always thought a tree house was involved the secret loves of a chainlink fence you stand mesmerized while the beholders scatter their potshots getting cozier on the last meteor out Ancestral faces hang on the old oak tree of a cloud time out of reach for the main complaint omit the wake-up stifle any kindred sense of smell A film is gathering of exceedingly correct proportions to puncture maybe tumble into not even once
It was a beautiful weekend to enjoy Mark di Suvero at Crissy Field! Grab your kites, picnic blankets, friends, and family and go enjoy these sculptures before the exhibition closes on May 26!
Happy Valentine's Day!
While in the past we've featured love letters to works of art on Valentine's Day (see here and here), this year we wanted to express our heartfelt affection for the museums who have partnered with us while we're on the go. Being a museum without a building could have turned into a lonely situation, but we've been lucky to work passionately on red-hot projects with institutions near and far, and have come to love who we are right now: a museum with a not-so-secret crush on our SFMOMA On the Go partners!
Big love to all the people and places that make the Bay Area arts community so sweet.
xoxo,
SFMOMA
To achieve poetry in a piece of sculpture, one must know how to dream, how to draw the dreams, and how to see the interwebbed, interdependent dance of this beautifully colored energy field that we too bluntly call 'life' or 'world.'
