Flying Art

Personal friend and awesome artist Jonn Herschend will be flying art over The Mission today.

Here’s how he puts it:

If you are in San Francisco’s Mission district… or in close proximity, look up in the sky from 4:30-5:30PM on Sat the 17th. I’ll have a public piece flying over the city as part of Southern Exposure’s Bellwether exhibition. It’s an open ended narrative being pulled by a small airplane for everyone to experience at the same time.

And if you are on the ground, a good place to view it will be at Southern Exposure’s (see www.soex.org) Inaugural Exhibition from 4:00-10:00PM. The exhibition, Bellwether, features the work of Ant Farm, Renée Gertler, Liz Glynn, Jonn Herschend, Whitney Lynn, Jay Nelson, Nonchalance, Lordy Rodriguez, Christine Wong Yap and SoEx’s Youth Advisory Board.

You may know Jonn from such things as THE THING.

    A “piece flying over the city”? Why hasn’t Chris Daly and Code Pink tried to ban this?

    I saw this yesterday. The plane had a banner saying “I’m sorry”. It was a great piece.

    Anyone have the skinny on the “street march” that made its way from SX last night, ’round a few blocks and back? The were carrying a sheet spread between them with writing on it, but from my window I couldn’t tell what they were saying.
