This commercial development will serve as the largest residential development project in the history of San Francisco. Located at 301 Mission Street, the collection within the tower will feature artists with significant relationships to art schools and institutions in the Bay area such as: The Academy of Art University, California College of the Arts, and the San Francisco Art Institute. This will be the only permanent collection in San Francisco specifically illustrating these significant relationships. The Millennium continued this curatorial vision in the public spaces as well by selecting Yoram Wolberger to create a major site-specific commissioned piece entitled "CA Mission."
An enlarged flat plastic model of a California Mission will be fabricated from translucent white Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. Suspended on a wall, this ghost-like structure will retain the mass production artifacts and faults of the original model. Hovering on the wall this flat structure will evoke contemplation on the meaning of the "CA Missions" as a local icons, its symbolism and historical relevance. Measuring approximately eighteen by fourteen feet, the model will surely act as a benchmark work for Wolberger.
In addition to this recent project, Wolberger's "Male Baseball #1" (2009) is featured at deCordova Sculpture Park (MA) - pictured above - while his "Red Indian #4 (Spearman)" (2008) has received much praise from its inclusion in "American Identities: A New Look" at the Brooklyn Museum (NY). Locally, his "Madonna" (2004) will be exhibited in the Orange County Museum of Art's "New Art for a New Century: Contemporary Acquisitions 2000-2010" starting May 2 and ending September 19, 2010.
