protection bond act of 2006. this grant would supplement the department's park bond for the renovation of the cliff house and would pay for the green elements on that project, including landscaping. the grant requires that a memorandum be filed and that the site be used for recreational purposes for the next 20 years. in the unlikely event that the site is sold or transferred, it prohibits indirect costs. lastly, in preparation for the resolution, it has taken a bit longer than we had anticipated in during that time the project had actually begun. therefore, the department is respectfully requesting that the resolution be amended to state that this would be a retroactive authorization. i am available to answer questions. supervisor elsbernd: can you give us an idea of when the

project will be complete? >> the anticipated completion date is november of 2012. supervisor elsbernd: this year? fantastic. and generally speaking, are we on budget with the project? >> absolutely. we anticipate a surplus at the end of the project. supervisor elsbernd: thank you very -- thank you very much. is there any public comment? mr. [unintelligible] >> good morning, supervisors. my name is douglas. i have lived in san francisco for 60 years. i would like to speak in favor of this resolution. i feel that many neighborhoods in san francisco have been underserved by part in iraq -- parked in rack -- park and rec, so it is good to see the that area is getting what it should

have gotten a long time ago. i used the comparison to the playground i am very familiar with, which underwent a beautiful renovation and i think that other areas of the city, especially the lower income neighborhoods, need the same kind of treatment. i also noted that on today's agenda there is only three items, so i would like to suggest an item that was in the examiner last thursday, march the eighth, entitled supervisor the bad behavior. it is a real eye opener. by. supervisor elsbernd: seeing no other members of the public, testimony is closed -- public comment is closed. can we do the amendment to accept this retroactively? done without objection. seeing no other questions or comments, we will send this forward without -- the

recommendation, without objection. seeing no other items on the agenda, this meeting is adjourned.

>> when stephen de staebler died, he was working on one of the biggest shows of his career, matter and spirit. it is a retrospective look at the many faces and faces of the life of an innovative artist from the california clay movement. stephen de staebler's developed

in an area dominated by abstract expression. even his peers saw his form. >> he was able to find a middle ground in which he balanced the ideas of human figuration and representation with abstraction and found it even more meaningful to negotiate that duality. >> another challenge was to create art from a meeting that was typically viewed as kraft material. his transforming moment was an accident in the studio. an oversized vertical sculpture began to collapse under its own weight and spread onto the floor. he sought a new tradition before him, landscape sculpture. >> you feel this extended human form underneath the surface of the earth struggling to emerge. eventually, it does. it articulates his idea that the

earth is like flesh, and the archaeology and geology in the earth are like the bones, the structure of the earth. this tied in with his idea of mother earth, with the sense that we are all tied to nature and the earth. >> a half dozen bay area museums and private collectors loan the massive sculptures to the museum for its matter and spirit retrospective. but the most unusual contributions came from stephen himself. a wall of autobiographical masks and hence from the early decades of his private study. >> he had one of the most beautiful studios i have ever been in. when you walk in, your first impression is of these monumental figures that you see in the exhibition, but if you went into the back corner of his studio, there was a series of shells with these diminutive figures. he told me, these are the heart of my studio.

these little, and held intimate study is that he referred to as his sketchbook. a painter might make drawings. stephen de staebler made miniature sculptures. >> during the 1970's, he was inspired by the monuments of egypt. he assembled a large rocks of clay into figures that resembled the ancient kings and queens. he credited a weathered appearance by rubbing glazes' into the clay while still wet. the misfires from his killed were brought in his backyard in his berkeley home. he called it his boneyard. in the last year of his life, he dug up the artifacts from his own history, and the bones were rearranged, in the were slimmer figures with wings. >> even if you knew nothing about his life or career, you sensed there was an artist dealing with this fundamental issue of life and death, the cake, netting back together, and

you feel there is an attempt to deal with mortality and immortality. there is a seeking of spiritual meaning in an existential stage. >> during his 50-year career, stephen de staebler worked to form and out of the clay of the ground and give it a breath of life. matter and spirit gathers the many expressions of his meditations. and gives the viewer and insight into the artist's life. learn more about the retrospective on line at
