Gizmo worked with SF local artist, Catherine Wagner, on this wonderful metal sculpture
Client: Related California
Category: Public Art
Location: 1500 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
Date: March 2020
Gizmo fabricated and installed “Prevailing Winds” by artist Catherine Wagner . Catherine is a San Francisco-based artist, known best for her conceptual photography. Wagner’s work often involves extensive research and, in this instance, she studied Bay Area wind patterns and then laser cut the resulting cartographic data onto eight aluminum panels. Lining the South Van Ness sidewalk of the 1500 Mission Street project, these functional sculptures have arrow-shaped holes and rectangular notches, which both help mitigate the wind and add poetry to the urban landscape.
