OU R SPECTACULAR NEW ENVIRONMENT
is inspiring, and our arts programs are taking full
advantage. Our opening at Pier 15 marked the debut of
Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog Bridge #72494. The installation,
which shrouds visitors in ghostly mist, was an instant
hit and has become an iconic element of our new home.
Fog Bridge artist Fujiko Nakaya has been creating fog
sculptures for over 40 years, but her experience at the
Exploratorium had an incredible impact on her. Nakaya
has said that she often seeks out environments for her
sculptures where she can block or control the wind,
which allows her to sculpt the fog into the desired
shape and density. Our location on the windy San
Francisco waterfront presented a unique challenge for
Nakaya—one, she admits, she was initially very worried
about. While working on this site-specific project,
Nakaya eventually gave in to the natural environment
at Pier 15 and now says that she embraces the wind,
which creates a beautiful dialogue with the fog.
