"Intrude", Wonderful Rabbits Installation in San Francisco

Presented by San Francisco Arts Commission, five exhilarating gigantic white rabbits installation, titled Intrude by Australian artist Amanda Parer, boldly occupied the Civic Plaza of San Francisco, right in front of the City Hall.

According to the curator's note, "Parer's edgy and ephemeral artworks explore the natural world, its fragility and our role within it."

"To the artist, rabbits are animals of contradiction. While they often connote a furry innocence, rabbits are considered an invasive pest in artist's native Australia...  Through Intrude, Parer hopes people will thoughtfully consider how humans can change and dominate the environment.

I was utterly enchanted by those artifacts of "Nylon 210D, air blowers, 55w LED floodlights" and failed to pay any attention of the underlying questions intended to probe.

The show ends on April 25th, 2016.  Catch them, if you can!

"Fancy Animal Carnival" by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi (洪易) at SF Civic Center

An acclaimed Taiwanese artist, Hung Yi (洪易), is exhibiting his fanciful large-scaled sculptures in San Francisco Civic Center Plaza from April 19 to May 2, 2015.  The exhibit includs 19 shining animals, painted with vivid colors and elaborate symbols, transformed the Plaza into a huge menagerie and the exhibition is aptly named as "Fancy Animal Carnival".




































I saw it two weeks ago and had great time view these strange creatures.  The exhibition was not very profound, perhaps, but engaging enough to warrant a visit to savor the whims of the artist.

Festive San Francisco City Hall and Opera House

While San Francisco Gay Pride Parade is going on now, I would like to share some photos I took last night, when I attended the San Francisco Symphony's semi-staged concert performance of Béla Bartók's Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, I saw the Civic Center area was in full swing to get ready for the parade, including the beautifully lit City Hall and the War Memorial Opera House.

Several days ago, I posted pictures of the rainbow colored Opera House taken on the balcony, last night, I took a picture of the Opera House with the full spectrum of colors:



San Francisco City Hall was in full glory as well (the first picture was taken inside the Symphony Hall):





On my way the meet up my friends for dinner and the performance, I walked by the Civic Center, which was gearing up for the festive today:
