What's the point?
Haha.
Get it?
I know.
That was bad.
I couldn't resist.
Cupid's Span
Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen
This is on Embarcadero. I'm going to guess somewhere around Pier 20? They skip piers.
They've had some fencing, scaffolding, and green tarp covering half of it for a bit.
I noticed recently that it was uncovered.
There's a sign that tells you not to climb/slide on it, but I see kids doing that all the time.
"As a counterpoint to romantic nostalgia,
we evoked the mythological account of Eros
shooting his arrow into the earth to make it fertile."
Placed on a hill, one can imagine the arrow being sunk under the surface of plants and prairie grasses.
A sense of acceleration is present with the slant of the bow. Like a boat viewed from the stern,
the bow seems to be tracking a course.
