A ROOFTOP GARDEN FOR SFMOMA
Thursday, April 03, 2008 - Sunday, October 26, 2008
With construction of the museum's new 14,400-square-foot Rooftop Garden currently under way, this exhibition offers visitors a glimpse of SFMOMA's expansion. A horizontal projection on the second-floor landing mimics the span of windows that will overlook the completed garden from the fifth-floor galleries, transforming an opaque wall into a virtual portal. The projection, conceived by Rooftop Garden architect Mark Jensen, paints an atmospheric portrait of the nascent outdoor space, conjuring specific design elements while suggesting how changing seasons, weather, and light will influence the mood in the garden.
