San Francisco's Rebar Studio--who also bring you the well-known Park(ing) Day and are fond of putting inflatable pillows in urban spaces--answered a brief for public art with a local history-inspired play installation.
"Gigantry is an interactive public sculpture in the form of a scaled and stylized model of the 450-ton bridge crane that dominates the southern vistas from the hilltop of the Hunters Point Housing development in San Francisco. By referencing the formal characteristics of the crane, Gigantry samples a dominant visual element of the area’s historic military infrastructure and recasts it as a playful, interactive sculpture."
Gigantry was planned for 2011-2012 but doesn't seem to have been installed yet...any of my S.F. readers know its status?
