Btw, for some Amos Goldbaum of your own, check out his online store.
Cannnnot wait to see it in person!!! (Church and Day are streets slightly outside of the Mission btw.)
To replace this fallen masterpiece that was on the side of Esta Noche. Says Primo:
I’d actually really like to do another one and I’m wondering if anyone in my network knows of equally large sized walls they’d be interested in having something like this painted on. This mural was in Rondel alley but unfortunately was not part of the wall we had permission to paint so it’s gone now, but it was a great experience for me and I want to do it again, maybe several times, so if you know a place, let me know !!! . Thanks @wallspace for the original hookup btw
Who’s got some walls???
The New York Times Style Magazine reports:
In San Francisco, where tensions between established artist communities and Silicon Valley continue to rise, Luke Groesbeck, a former tech worker and the founder of the fledgling public art organization Art City, wants to help his hometown reinvest in the former. “This is a city with a major arts and cultural legacy,” he says. “How do we honor that? Then an idea came up and I got fixated on it: What happens when you turn an entire city into a gallery? Is it possible?”
From now until Aug. 17, San Franciscans will get to find out. As part of Art City’s Way Out West project, Groesbeck, along with his crew of curators and organizers, worked with advertising companies and the local creative community to coordinate his organization’s pilot urban art takeover.
This seems cool, displacing advertising in favor of local art and all. But I also really like that Coors Light ad.
