Composed of over 3,500 individual kite-like ellipses, this immersive sculpture floats between two floors of the building in an undulating, interwoven canopy. #AAPIHM #JacobHashimoto @SFAC

Did you know that 2% of the budget of civic construction projects in SF goes towards funding public art? The new Harvey Milk Terminal 1 will have several new works of art installed including this tile mosaic by Jason Jägel. https://t.co/WITQT64iYi #museummonday @SFAC

Envisioned by Hashimoto as “a cloud of kites, and a landscape of air and earth, painted at the edge of the sky,” the work transforms as images of earth, sea and various graphics give way to a gradient of translucent whites. #AAPIHM #JacobHashimoto @SFAC

For instance, the suited businessman is a symbol of mainstream respectability, often contrasted with bold, vividly dressed women. #SFAC #ViolaFrey

For this suite of prints, Shaun O’Dell uses simplified icons of American history—liberty bells and silhouettes of the founding fathers—to depict the complexity of the past. #PublicArt #ShaunODell @SFAC

For “Long Arc of Day,” Kim Anno combined multiple scenes of San Francisco Bay and the California landscape into one image. Anno created the tableaux by collaging and layering glass with pigment color drawings that were based on historical engravings. #KimAnno #publicart @SFAC

Geological strata are represented by distinct sections of marbleized paper, which are separated by an underground river. Leafless trees & a subterranean golden planet suggest both existential strife & hope for the future.

Hank Willis Thomas uses language and the form of the lenticular print to challenge our subjective perspective. Lenticulars require the viewer to activate the work, as the embedded image changes when observed from different positions. @sfac #BlackHistoryMonth

Happy 101st Birthday to Wayne Thiebaud, who was born #onthisday in 1920! In the early 1960s, Thiebaud was acclaimed as one of the defining practitioners of Pop Art and has continued to be considered one of California’s most important and influential artists. #publicart @SFAC

Harvey Milk Terminal 1 passengers, have you seen “Hyper-Natural Bay Area” by artist Robert Minervini? The mosaic considers what defining characteristics make a city distinctive and offers a window onto Minervini’s version of San Francisco. #PublicArt @SFAC

In "Impossibly," the words “possible,” “possibly” and “impossible” easily shift from optimism to pessimism and back again. In each of these text-based works, we are asked to alter our initial interpretation and consider multiple perspectives at once.

In "Orion," the younger stars appear blue. Alnitak and Mintaka’s spectral “fingerprint” are similar and look almost identically blue. The position of the star sculptures in the installation roughly correlates to their position in the night sky. @SFAC #PublicArt #SpencerFinch

In "They are Us, Us is Them," the phrase alters between third person and first person perspective, forcing us to question the artificial boundaries that separate us from one another. @sfac #BlackHistoryMonth

In Hudson’s “Horse of Another Color”, a flat, geometrical background is combined with representational imagery to create visual contradiction between the illusionistic spaces and the flat background surface. #RobertHudson #PublicArt #Painting #SFAC

In an era of digital technology and one-click ease, John Chiara prefers a complex, analog approach to making photographs. The artist designs and builds large-format cameras by hand and tows his gear on a flatbed trailer from place to place. #publicart #SFAC #JohnChiara
