SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Civic Center Plaza will soon have some new sights: eight sculptures by Spanish artist Manolo Valdés.
“San Francisco will join the ranks of the other leading cities of the world such as Paris and New York in hosting this impressive sculpture display,” Mayor Gavin Newsom said.
Newsom will lead a dedication ceremony for the exhibit April 29. It is the first time that the Arts Commission has orchestrated an ensemble of sculptures as a part of a temporary exhibition.
Temporary displays organized by the commission include a one-day installation of thousands of latex balloons over Lake Merced.

LOVE KAHLO! I saw on SFMOMA's website that they've actually extended their hours for this exhibition: until 9:45 p.m. on Thursdays, and 7:45 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. I'm going this weekend, can't wait!

In place of the exhibit, the San Francisco Art Institute should post a wall-full of the threatening mail it has received. The animal-killing exhibit sounds inexcusable, but violent threats are also inexcusable, and a display of them may make a similar point about humanity and inhumanity.
