  • @VegOs @aiww Always on the leading edge. But perhaps more of a Ginsberg Rectangle?

#tbt Allen Ginsberg & @aiww, 1988 In 1955, Ginsberg debuted “Howl” in San Francisco. @CityLightsBooks founder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, was later arrested on obscenity charges for publishing the poem. 60 years later, Ai’s “@ Large” opened on Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, addressing issues of freedom of expression and incarceration. #AllenGinsberg #Howl #SanFrancisco #AiWeiweiAlcatraz #Ferlinghetti On this day in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge opened to its first pedestrian traffic. Here’s a flashback to our exhibition at Fort Point, International Orange.

FOR-SITE Executive Director @cheryllhaines recently spent some quality time with an old friend for the opening of “Andy Warhol/Ai Weiwei” at the @TheWarholMuseum in Pittsburgh. @aiww #WarholWeiwei #AndyWarhol #Pittsburgh #contemporaryart #tbt #Goldsworthy applying a combination of local clay and straw to "Tree Fall" in the Presidio. Come out tomorrow between 11am and 2pm for FOR-SITE Foundation's #FirstFriday #docent hours to see the amazing way this installation has changed. Meet us at Building 95 on Main Post of @presidiosf.
