Ecstasy again

Ecstasy again, a photo by K Jurgens on Flickr.

Click on the photo to see the comments about how much San Francisco loves Ecstasy and this multi-dimentional photo of her!

A Sculpture Garden in Oakland? YES!

A shout out from Living in the O, first about partnering with The Black Rock Arts Foundation to provide art for a temporary sculpture garden in Oakland, funded by the Oakland Cultural Arts Department and a $200,000 Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

At the bottom of the post is a lovely story about their visit to Ecstacy on Patricia's Green.

Great News!

Ecstasy's visit to Patricia's Green in San Francisco has been extended until December 31, 2010!

Thank you to the community members and local businesses of Hayes Valley, and to the Hayes Valley Arts Coalition for rallying support and advocating for an extension of Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito's sculpture Ecstasy. By popular demand, Ecstasy will remain installed until December 31, 2010, instead of deinstalling this month, as previously planned.

Some little media sightings to tell you about:

And a special thanks to Thomas Hawk, local renowned photographer for the fabulous shot of Ecstasy!

Another beautiful shot of Ecstasy!

We have been telling you for a few weeks about Ecstasy by Dan Dass Man and Karen Cusolito coming to Patricia's Green in Hayes Valley, San Francisco. What a day it was with music and introductions of the artists and the neighborhood out enjoying Ecstasy and the beautiful afternoon. Thanks to all of you for coming out and celebrating with us.

Hayes Valley Welcomes Ecstasy!

In February, during the installation of Ecstasy, we stopped by to say Hi, sans camera, to Karen Cusolito and her crew who were doing the installation. Feeling foolish, on my job and my joy with no way to take photos who do I run into but a woman on a bike with a gorgeous camera, who of course goes to Burning Man and knows Dan and Karen's work. So I introduced myself and Kristin said she would be happy to get a few shots of the installation, and try to include one of Karen and her crew. So here are the photos, just in time for a final reminder of the "Opening Reception" this Friday:

March 19, 2010
Patricia’s Green
at Octavia and Hayes Streets
San Francisco, CA
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

We will have music, IGBA MMOH African Drummers and Gaucho Gypsy Jazz, and celebrate together!

The neighborhood continues to welcome Ecstasy. Besides all the great photos on flickr, they're blogging about Ecstasy out there! How fun is that? Clearly the neighborhood loves her, and it looks to me like she is loving them back. So if you want to read how San Francisco and especially Hayes Valley is falling in love with Ecstasy, read these!

Happy Rusty Friday

I know I said I was not going to post any more flickr photos of Ecstasy, but I just could not resist the magnitude and yet intimacy of this photo.

Thanks aziari.

Valentine's Day Ecstasy on Patricia's Green

Read what my favorite blogger, Civic Center, fabulous photographer and Hayes Valley Neighborhood pundit had to say about Ecstasy on Valentine's Day. I especially loved that he mentioned that David Best's Temple on Patricia's Green was his first blog post, so check out Valentine's Day Ecstasy on Patricia's Green, there are other great photos like this one and a local take on the neighborhood.

Thanks Mike....

And don't forget to join us in celebration of Ecstasy at the opening reception:
