I took this at the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art. When you look at this sculpture from certain angles the figure disappears.

Interesting paradox: taking pictures at SFMOMA's Exposed (Voyeurism) show is not allowed...

Exploded Views (Improv), an installation on display in the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Atrium from November 2011 to September 2012 by San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell, explodes the moving image into three dimensions, with a flickering grid of light that is part sculpture, part cinematic screen. Thousands of computer-controlled LED spheres create the illusion of fleeting shadowlike figures that dissolve and resolve as one moves around and beneath the suspended, chandelierlike matrix. Exploded Views investigates the nuances of perception through a series of four different films, changing every two months. The first film was a collaboration with Alonzo King's LINES Ballet; the second studied a flock of birds; the third film, on view in March and April, considers the unrehearsed movements of San Francisco pedestrians and the role of the museum's atrium as a public space of transit.

 

The central five-story Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Atrium, culminates in an aerial truss bridge and skylit occulus. A grand atrium staircase draws visitors from the ground floor up to four levels of skylit galleries. The striation on the exterior of the turret is echoed in the alternating bands of polished and rough Canadian granite appearing on the atrium's floor and lower columns.

 

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) was opened in 1935 under director Grace L. McCann Morley as the San Francisco Museum of Art, the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th-century art. For its first sixty years, the museum occupied upper floors of the War Memorial Veterans Building in the Civic Center. Under director Henry T. Hopkins, the museum added "Modern" to its title in 1975, and established an international reputation. In 1995 the museum moved to its current location, a large cubistic building designed by Mario Botta Architetto of Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum at 151 Third Street.

from Wikipedia:

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is a modern art museum located in San Francisco, California. A nonprofit organization, SFMOMA holds an internationally recognized collection of modern and contemporary art, and was the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th-century art. The museum’s current collection includes over 33,000 works of painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, design, and media arts. They are displayed on 170,000 square feet of exhibition space, making the museum one of the largest in the United States overall, and one the largest in the world for modern and contemporary art.

 

SFMOMA reopened on May 14, 2016, following a major three-year-long expansion project. The expansion more than doubles the museum’s gallery spaces and provides almost six times as much public space as the previous building, allowing SFMOMA to showcase an expanded collection along with the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection of contemporary art.

Thank you for taking the time to look at, comment on, and fave my photographs.
