ANDY GOLDSWORTHY
Wood Line, (site specific commission)
Presidio, San Francisco
Conceived as a celebration of the Presidio's historic forest. Wood generated by construction and reforestation projects in the park will be positioned to form a sinuous "path" through the forest parallel to Lovers' Lane off Presidio Boulevard. The artist has described the movement of the piece through the landscape as "drawing the place." As with many of Goldsworthy's site-specific works, the materials will decompose and return to the earth over time.

ALLISON SMITH
Arts and Skills Service Workshop
Exhibition Pavilion, Building 1212,
Storey Ave/Ralston Ave, Presidio,
San Francisco, CA
Bay Area artist educator Allison SMITH is leading a series of workshops for women veterans and the public on the theme of trench art: objects made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians, where the object's making and materiality are directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. SMITH and collaborators Amber Cady and Helena Keeffe will present historical trench art objects as "conversation pieces," then demonstrate many of the skills needed for making the objects.
Workshops are free and all materials are provided.
Workshop 2: Feb 18 & 19, 10am-6pm
Workshop 3: March 10 & 11, 10am-6pm
Workshop 4: April 7 & 8, 10am-6pm
Workshop 5: May 4 & 5, 10am-6pm
To participate, please RSVP by email to Allison Smith at smithsgeneral@gmail.com.
