ART on STREETS: The Space Between Gallery

One of the most enjoyable things about living in the city of San Francisco is how visually dynamic it is. There is simply art everywhere, but not in a way that inundates you. The most interesting pieces are hidden away in nooks and crannies, and many people often overlook the “candy” placed in prominent locations.  ART on STREETS, Untapped SF’s newest column, highlights this city’s art through the lens of a “Polaroid” camera (except it’s an app on the phone).

The Space Between Gallery / Museum of Neighborhood Archaeology sits on the busy intersection of Columbus Avenue and Washington Street, a common path between the Financial District and North Beach. I generally pass it when I’m on my way back from North Beach going toward Market Street to catch the Muni. This set of images is in that order-from the “end” or “back” of the gallery to the front door, and a little around  the corner onto Washington Street. 1 Columbus Avenue looks like one of those awesome, unused, old city buildings-except this gallery is there. I have yet to happen by when it’s open, unfortunately.

More outside the gallery, than in

This image is a little more about the reflection, but there are long legs in there.

And as I walked away, I had to look over my shoulder, only to realize-I missed the spades.
