SAN FRANCISCO, CA — CounterPulse is proud to be unveiling the new light sculpture titled “Elektra” on the façade of our building at 80 Turk St by the award-winning art and design studio FUTUREFORMS. The installation of this world-class public art installation marks the summit of CounterPulse’s current capital campaign to purchase their building in downtown San Francisco later this year.
“CounterPulse has been a guiding light for experimental arts in San Francisco, and with the new addition of this sculpture, its radiance and vibrancy will only be more palpable on Turk St,” said Nataly Gattegno, co-founder of FUTUREFORMS. “Elektra illuminates and activates the entrance of CounterPulse through a woven structure of stainless steel and light. The artwork was made in our Dogpatch-based studio and shop.”
The sculpture will be unveiled at CounterPulse’s annual art party and auction Innerspace : Homecoming on Saturday May 7th, 2022. This one-night-a-year spectacular of art and performance will also feature dynamic program of artists spanning many disciplines including h0tclub, Peekaboo, Afro Urban Society, Megan Lowe, Brenton Cheng, Donna Personna, Humberto Maldonado, La Frida, Fiera Ferari, Fauxnique, Pseuda, Jota Mercury, and more!
