“Relaxing electronically” by Andrew

Andrew has turned a very old low capacity thumbdrive into a little person wearing a little hat and impish grin, reclining. This is to capture the impact of technology that is a huge part of the citys culture and life right now, as well as its whimsy - its deep commitment to fun and creative events and oddity.

“Bedroom Window” by Jonathon

Two elements Jonathon sees every day from his apartment are The Castro rainbow flag - for inclusiveness and tolerance, and Sutro tower - a 3 sided radio tower very well visible in San Francisco often shrouded by fog. Fog has been termed by San Franciscans as Karl the Fog.

ENTRANCE TO THE GARDEN
Everyone: Free entry from 7.30-9am

San Francisco Residents: Always free. Show them your ID at the front gate or a bill with your name on it to a residential address in San Francisco and you have free entry every day. They do suggest a $2 donation - definitely worth it and highly recommended!

We can be contacted on 646-512-0530 or via matchboxprojects[at]gmail.com. But we do not know whether there will be good reception whilst in the park!

After you spend time with us in the park, we recommend you stay and enjoy the amazing Flower Piano events happening within the gardens. 12 days, 12 pianos until 18 July!
