What can't they do?
Andrea and Ben at the opening of the Bandshell, Canon Elph SD1000
Panhandle bandshell opening party, Canon Elph SD1000
The boys of Rebar, Canon Elph SD1000
My husband's art group, Rebar teamed up with another SF art collecctive, The Finch Mob to create a truly spectacular public art installation in Panhandle Park. It is a fully functional, traditional bandshell (think of the Hollywood Bowl) for non-amplified, acoustic neighborhood performances constructed out of reclaimed, recycled and repurposed materials. The stage itself is made from old wooden doors and the "skin" of the structure is made of old car hoods. The back of the shell (which looks metallic in the photo above) is actually made from small plastic water bottles strung together.
Anyone can sign up to perform at the Bandshell this summer. It will face west to the setting sun from June 23 to September 10, 2007.

Posted by: jenn at June 27, 2007 02:48 PMThis is just beautiful. I showed my husband (mean architect) and he is SO IMPRESSED. Well, who wouldn't be. And I'm still crazy about Matt's hair.

Posted by: linda at June 27, 2007 02:22 PMthat is seriously awesome andrea! congrats to matt!
I'm impressed, and can't wait to go check it out. Does it have to come down in September, though? It would be nice to have a reclaimed, recycled structure as a permanent inspiration!
Posted by: amanda at June 27, 2007 01:50 PMSo, SO cool. I'm intrigued by the back of the shell made from those water bottles strung together - any chance you can post of close up photo of this structure? I can't even imagine what that could be like.
Looks like a beauty of a day out there! Such a happy mom and kiddo.
wow, how cool!
you guys are such a creative couple.
wow, how cool!
Posted by: tiffany at June 27, 2007 10:36 AMoh this is WAY TOO COOL FOR WORDS!!!!!
Posted by: wendy at June 27, 2007 06:37 AMThat's great! I wish my husband and I lived in California. There is so much culture and interesting things to do there.
Posted by: Andrea at June 27, 2007 06:36 AMHow cool is that! Love to see recycled materials being used in a such a creative way that brings more life to a neighborhood as well!
Posted by: Maya at June 27, 2007 05:55 AMFabulous! Can't wait to share this with the recycling kids at school when they return in the Fall. ;)
Posted by: Marilyn at June 27, 2007 05:45 AMabsolutely BRILLIANT.
Posted by: claire at June 27, 2007 04:11 AMamazing seems to be the word used most often, but amazing is what came to my mind first when i saw this. tell him congrats.
Posted by: celisa at June 26, 2007 06:24 PMI heard about this - very very cool!
Posted by: stef at June 26, 2007 04:49 PMamazing! i wish i could see it in real life.
Posted by: reva at June 26, 2007 04:01 PMamazing! i wish i could see it in real life.
Posted by: reva at June 26, 2007 04:01 PMThis is A-MA-ZING!!!! Not only is it totally and completely creative, but what a wonderful way to bring residents together. My job here in Florida is all about helping residents make their neighborhoods better, and I think this idea is just incredibly fantastic. I think people from all over the community will use this and want to visit it, so many many congratulations on a job well done.
Posted by: Jennifer at June 26, 2007 03:55 PMThis is the coolest thing ever!
And the fact that it is made of reused and recycled material...makes it ultra cool in my book!
I loved the photos of the bandshell party.
Everyone there in your community looked all relaxed and mello, just listening to the music....
Matt's art group is so talented and innovative!
You must be so proud.
P.S. And Ben just gets cuter everyday too.
Thanks for a great post.
:)
That is so cool!!
Posted by: Jenny Rebecca at June 26, 2007 01:52 PMWow, how cool is that! :-) And it's still standing - we have the documenta 12 (www.documenta.de) here in Kassel, Germany right now, and have already lost one installation by Ai Wei Wei to a storm, now part of the museum has been flooded - so thank your Californian weather gods... Really awesome piece of work! Lots of love, Charis :-))
Posted by: Charis at June 26, 2007 01:19 PMi know the importance of this post is the amazing, wonderful, eco-friendly bandshell...
but i really couldn't help but notice...
Could your son be any cuter?!?
spectacular!!!
Posted by: cheryl at June 26, 2007 12:22 PMI love that! It looks great and knowing what it's made of makes it even greater!
Posted by: Emma at June 26, 2007 12:01 PMJust amazing.
Posted by: Maggie Ann at June 26, 2007 11:54 AMThis is totally awesome. So mindfully creative!!
