Temporary Art Projects for Construction Site Perimeter
UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay
San Francisco, California
UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay invites qualified artists, organizations, and institutions located in the Bay Area, preference given to San Francisco residents, to
submit their qualifications for the commissioning of temporary community art projects for the construction fences along 16th Street, 3rd Street, and Mariposa. UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay is building a 289-bed, integrated hospital complex to serve children, women and cancer patients on its 57-acre biomedical campus at Mission Bay. An integral part of this endeavor is to fulfill the vision for sustainability and green design – a vision that entails the creation of a healthful environment both within these buildings for the healing of patients and the well-being of visitors and staff, as well as outside of the buildings for the health of our local and global
communities. The first phase is scheduled for completion in 2014.
This temporary art project for the construction site perimeter will be the first project in this ambitious art program and will reflect the goals described above as well as engaging the surrounding community. The fence will be in use for approximately 3 years and the selected projects may be rotated or may remain for the duration of the construction process with the possibility of becoming a permanent art project within the hospitals.
Media: Media would preferably be reproducible in the event of damage from adjacent
construction.
Eligibility: Open to professional artists, artist teams, non-profit organizations, institutions with experience involving and engaging community participation. Preference will be given to residents of San Francisco, particularly those located in the Mission Bay Area.
Collaborative teams should submit only one application.
Budget: to be determined based on proposals.
Criteria for Selection:
*Artistic excellence
*Appropriateness to the site
*Durability of design and materials to withstand the area’s weather
*Minimum maintenance requirements and resistance to vandalism
*Safety
*Proven ability through past works to undertake a project of this scope
*Community participation
Estimated Timeline
Deadline for submission: February 11, 2011
