San Francisco Art Show Fundraiser…
This isn’t my image but I do have a panoramic image in this great fundraiser later this month. Here’s the details…
Join us February 27th at Space Gallery for art, cocktails, and live music to help us raise money for the non-profit, Camfed. Art donations from talented, local San Francisco artists will be auctioned off from 8-10pm and 100% of the sales will go directly to Camfed.
The goal of the organization is to empower girls in Africa by using a community-based, holistic approach to long-term education, small business training, and HIV prevention. Since 1993, Camfed has improved the educational opportunities for 645,400 children, provided scholarships for 39,330 girls to go to high school, trained 2,677 teacher mentors and helped 609 young women go to college.

Ari Salomon and Andy Vogt
SFMoMA Minna & Natoma Street Windows
February 13 – June 26, 2010
(Maps: Minna, Natoma or Streetview: Minna, Natoma)
I have transformed 2 giant windows on Minna St. into lightboxes for a couple photos that are 8 feet tall. And on Natoma St. I have 3 lightboxes in smaller sizes mixed in with Andy’s installation.
UPDATES:
Our blurb about the installation:
In this collaborative art installation by photographer Ari Salomon and sculptor Andy Vogt, each artist relies on a systematic process to create large-scale abstract artworks. Salomon experiments with found-lighting situations to reveal hints of what is all around us but hidden by the limits of perception. Vogt transforms found-wood lath strips into architectural and geological constructions, and these new structural meditations examine how time and materials intersect with our perception of place. Both artists explore the concept of building abstractions of reality in order to bring another kind of reality into focus.
Reception: Sat., February 20, 4-7pm
Dress warm – you will have to be outdoors to see our work and enjoy our free TCHO chocolate! Japanese organic snacks for sample and purchase by Pachamana Catering. Thanks also to DPi Printing and Central Services.

On view 24/7 in the street-level window displays down the alleyways on either side of the museum (on the SFMOMA parking garage behind the main building).
