2929 A Double Take
A New Museum
Jan 1-10 2010


2929 is an exhibition using A NEW MUSEUM's address as a double take. Using his series of Public Sculptures made with ready-made-trash and debris on streets and sidewalks around San Francisco Mission, Sollars will be installing some of these recent creations in the Museum over the course of the two weeks.

A NEW MUSEUM was conceived by San Francisco-based artist Abner Nolan for "Art in Storefronts", a project sponsored by the San Francisco Arts Commission and the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development. A NEW MUSEUM is located at 2929 24th Street in San Francisco's Mission District.
