Folsom Street / Moscone Center Metro
Arc Cycle by Catherine Wagner
Wagner’s installation uses six photos from her 1978-84 series “Moscone Center” The photos documented the excavation and building process of Moscone Center. The photos were laser-etched onto a 14-by-26-foot pane of glass. The works show the rebar and early construction forms of the convention center rising in what was once home to a large Filipino American community that was mostly eliminated by the construction project.
