Open Skies Parks & Projects

Artist: Mikhail Iliatov w/Erica Ehrenberg
Project: Linking the Park to a Story of First Love

Linking the Park to a Story of First Love introduces poetry and dimensions of language, type, and text-based art to a public space.

You will experience words at an unusual scale and discover new ways of reading poetry and relating to poetic metaphors.

Erica will offer a poetry workshop through the duration of the project.
And Mikhail will discuss printing methods (screen printing, stenciling), in addition to various new and historical philosophies and goals of typographic design.

Join Mikhail Iliatov and Erica Ehrenberg, as they continue a vibrant discussion of poetry and literature in public spaces!

Open Skies: Celebrating the Frontier Spirit of Today's Artists
October 19-21, 2007
3 Days - 10 San Francisco Parklands - 15 Contemporary Artists

Curated by Elliot Lessing

Open Skies is a citywide Contemporary Arts Exhibition that celebrates the spirit of wonder, renewal, and creative social action through artist-driven public projects that activate space and community resources.

Open Skies unites 15 Contemporary Artists with 10 San Francisco neighborhood parks to deliver extraordinary site-specific art projects of all media for families, new residents, and city visitors.

All exhibitions, tours, workshops, special events, and educational materials are completely free to the public. Combined, these project features highlight our neighborhood parks as living outdoor classrooms - thus transforming Open Skies into a welcoming community enrichment project.

Open Skies is at once a brilliant opportunity for families, community members, and city visitors to enjoy a rich synthesis of inspiring artistic visions, dynamic educational programming, and constructive civic engagement.
