75,000 Handmade Kites Greet Visitors to SFMOMA With Color, Pattern, and Movement
A vast canopy of nearly 75,000 handmade kites transforms the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) into a shifting, otherworldly landscape. Jacob Hashimoto: Giant Arc fills the museum’s Roberts Family Gallery from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. The site-specific work brings together sculpture, design, craft, and the environment in one of the largest installations of Hashimoto’s career. Hashimoto has spent more than three decades developing installations from small bamboo-and-paper kites.
