Visit to De Young - SRP + TMP - 3/16/24

Transcription of Voice Note: So I went to the de Young with Sarah on March 16th and had a great time. Uh, my favorite pieces. We went to the de Young Sculpture Garden and then we went inside. And my favorite pieces in the Sculpture Garden were the waterworks piece. Um, the, that's a number three. Uh, number five, uh, was a sculpture by a guy named Robert Arneson of a head and war and it's intense.I, I really liked the James Turrell, the light space. That was fun. And when we went into the museum, we saw the dress that Eleanor has. Uh, with Mao on it, that's number 23. And then also, uh, the Trompe l'Oeil, I think is, I'm not sure exactly how you pronounce that, Trompe l'Oeil. Uh, there was a whole room dedicated to that.Uh, and one of the pieces was of fish, and that was number 28. And what I love about it is there's a reference to a piece done by, uh, Ioannis Galle, um, and Peter Bruegel and Hieronymus Bosch also did these fish eating other fish and then being opened up. Uh, but I think my favorite part of the whole, uh, experience is on page 34.It's hanging out with Sarah. https://www.museeum.com/a-sculptural-oasis-inside-the-san-francisco-golden-gate-park/

The de Young Open 2023

The de Young Open is a juried art exhibition that celebrates and supports the local arts communities of the nine Bay Area counties surrounding San Francisco245. The exhibition is held at the de Young Museum, which is a fine arts museum located in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco1. The de Young Open is a triennial exhibit that invites submissions from local artists via open call for review by a jury composed of both Bay Area artists and Fine Arts Museums’ curators4. The artworks are hung “salon style,” installed nearly edge to edge and floor to ceiling, maximizing the number of works displayed25. The exhibition allows artists to offer their works for sale and retain the proceeds, and the Fine Arts Museums acquire a selection of artworks from the exhibition for their permanent collection25. The de Young Open is designed to illustrate the diversity and creativity of local artists from all nine Bay Area counties, and it is partly meant to support artists financially6. The exhibition features artworks grouped by theme, such as political and social issues, the urban environment, the human figure, nature, abstraction, and surreal imagery5.
