Glenn Bucksbaum serves as president of The Baum Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that supports programs related to education, the environment, and the arts. Among the groups that have received support from Glenn Bucksbaum’s foundation is Sites Unseen. A public-arts project, Sites Unseen endeavors to bring arts programming to underused areas of San Francisco’s South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood.
On November 9, 2017, Sites Unseen unveiled its second public art installation of the year and third overall. Displayed on an exterior wall on Annie Street, close to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, “Love Over Rules” is a large, text-based neon artwork by Hank Willis Thomas. Mr. Thomas, who holds an MFA from the Bay Area’s California College of the Arts, has deep connections to San Francisco.
To celebrate the unveiling, Mr. Thomas discussed the installation during a free presentation at the California Historical Society during Sites Unseen’s “Love Over Rules” launch party, which also included the first illumination of the artwork.
Sites Unseen funded “Love Over Rules” with the help of a grant from The Baum Foundation. To view a picture of the installation, visit thebaumfoundation.org.
