Dear SFAC,

I am writing this letter of support for the San Francisco/Tenderloin based art and cultural organization, 509 Cultural Center/Luggage Store regarding the proposal of Tauba Auerbach’s mural installation on Mosser Towers. The mission continues to build community through the organizing of multidisciplinary arts programming and events that are accessible and reflective of the Bay Area's communities.

The 509 Cultural Center/Luggage Store are dedicated to creating programs designed to encourage and broaden social and aesthetic networks. These networks play an important role in developing relationships and ideas that support the diverse dynamic neighborhoods within the downtown San Francisco neighborhood, the Tenderloin.

As a Bay area artist I have had the honor of working on numerous projects through 509 Cultural Center/Luggage Store with directors, Laurie Lazer and Darryl Smith. The most recent project was a multi-colored weave mural installation on the Proper Hotel located on 7th and Market Street. This project was the largest work I and my team ever had the opportunity to create or produce and it was a dream I never had come true.

They continue to dedicate their lives to supporting the diverse communities within this neighborhood, that include the artists and lower income people who have become vulnerable to the housing crisis, and high cost of living in the Bay Area. Laurie and Darryl are trusted leaders and mentors that have created empowered community collaborations that engage and inspire. The 509 Cultural Center provides much needed platforms in which stories reflective of the diversity of the people can be heard. All backgrounds, ages, races, sexualities, cultures and areas are represented and given the opportunity to be seen and respected. The 509 Cultural Center/Luggage Store plays and essential role in the history of San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Please support the 509 Cultural Center/Luggage Store as an innovator and incubator of the Arts within the Tenderloin and greater Bay Area.

Thank you,

Alicia McCarthy

Dear SFAC,

I am writing this letter in support for The Luggage Store and their proposal of Tauba Auerbach’s mural project on Mosser Towers located in the Mid-Market and Tenderloin neighborhood.

Pentacle Coffee Co. is a San Francisco based coffee company nestled in SOMA’s Mid-Market neighborhood established in 2018. Our main goal is to provide the best coffee and espressos with a little Latin flavor to our customers. The Luggage Store has been a wonderful neighbor and organization that has been thus far in support of our business and what we do.

In addition to the several large-scale murals they have already produced in the neighborhood, they are dedicated to creating programs and exhibition designed to encourage artists in the bay area. Co-directors of The Luggage Store, Laurie Lazer and Darryl Smith, are trusted leaders and mentors who play an important role in developing relationships and ideas that continue to support the diverse community within this neighborhood.

With this letter, I encourage the Arts Commission to please support The Luggage Store in implementing this mural by Tauba Auerbach. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Bobby Valentino Sanchez Owner Pentacle Coffee Co. 1011 Market Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, p.415.487.1011 f.415.487.1010

Dear SFAC,

I am writing this letter in support The Luggage Store and their proposal to direct the creation of mural projects in the Mid-Market neighborhood and Tenderloin neighborhoods, based on their track record and solid reputation.

SF Camerawork is a non-profit arts organization supporting local and emerging artists in the field of photography. We have operated in the South of Market neighborhood since 1974 and at our current location, next door to The Luggage Store, since August of 2011.

Most likely you are already familiar with The Luggage Store, as they have been an anchor and a leader of the arts community in this neighborhood for many years. The Luggage Store has already demonstrated their ability to execute projects of this nature (we enjoy the Clare Rojas mural above the Warfield every day), and the Alicia McCarthy mural on the proper Hotel. With this letter we would like to add our endorsement to their newest proposal on Mosser Towers with Tauba Auerbach.

We strongly encourage you to support The Luggage Store’s current mural proposal, please let me know if we can provide any further support or information regarding the arts and community in our neighborhood.

Thank you for your consideration,

Heather Snider Executive Director SF Camerawork

MOSSER MONOLITH

One of my favorite movies is Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the film, a simple black monolith famously appears at moments of transition. Many interpretations of this mysterious volume have been suggested over the years— a harbinger of evolutionary development? A discovery? A social shift? A reincarnation or birth? Part of the film’s great enduring power comes from its use of abstraction — the monolith could stand for anything, and so viewers are free to build their own stories about its meaning. For decades since the film came out, the public has not gotten tired of doing so.

Growing up in the city, the mural I always liked most was a keyhole painted on the front of a house on Bay street. I think I responded to the trompe-l’oile technique, and that the painting let me use my imagination to think about what was on the other side. A lot to public art has a clear message, often literally telling its viewer what to think or feel, using slogans or words. This can be impactful on a first encounter or when passing quickly in a vehicle, but I’d like this mural be generous to its viewers over time, on repeated daily viewings. Doing so prioritizes the residents rather than visitors to the neighborhood. An image without a single, obvious interpretation stays interesting over time.

I would like offer a group of positive notions and sensations to this neighborhood without preaching to anyone about how they should think or feel. I’ve created an image with a glistening, clear monolith protruding from the side of the building. As an empty, transparent form, one can ascribe any meaning to this vessel. The surface of the wall is has a liquid marbled pattern, like the end-pages of an old book, and the monolith seems to have powerfully pulled all the marks in its surroundings upward.

With this imagery, I would like to create the sense, the gesture, of lifting upward. I want to convey the ideas of mobility, flow and defying gravity. These notions mean something different to everyone, but they are positive and characterized by possibility.

My intention is also to paint this mural with two legends from San Francisco’s sign- painting history, Bob Dewhurst and Damon Styer. I apprenticed for Damon in the early 2000s and worked for him for three years, imagining that sign painting would be my profession. Bob’s “sign language” truck has been a staple in the city for decades, and he has been a painting hero of mine for almost as long.

The next few years will also see me back in San Francisco often, preparing for a survey exhibition opening at SFMOMA in April 2020.
