EverBlock assists major art exhibit at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco
Posted by EverBlock on Jul 8th 2016
Renowned LA based photographer, Andrew George, brought his stunning "Right, before I die," an exhibition of portraits and testimonies of twenty palliative care patients, from its stay at the Musea Brugge in Belgium to San Francisco for its US premier. Grace's grandeur, gothic architecture was the perfect setting for the contemporary, yet timeless work of art.
EverBlock served as the story wall for this full scale installation. Over 2200 black blocks compiled the 120 foot long, 9 foot high wall. Abbey Party Rents SF installed the wall with a just a few team members in under 4 hours. The portraits and writings were mounted to the blocks and lighting was attached above to highlight each story.
The solidity and sturdiness of the EverBlock wall was a good match for the gravity and solemness of the subject matter of the artwork. The monochromatic black offered a clean and elegant backdrop, allowing the art to be the centerpiece.
"Right, before I die" is currently on display at Grace Cathedral through August 10th and is free to the public. Its next residence will be at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, where the monumental work will adorn another EverBlock wall built into a brand new design.
EverBlock is honored to have been a part of such a profound and moving installation at Grace Cathedral.
