DESCRIPTION:Opening reception Thursday, April 17, 6-9pm, show runs March 28 through 
 June 30\n\nLevy Art & Architecture is pleased to commission and present 
 "Reintroductions" by Todd Gilens. This show is a continuation of the 
 Endangered Species Project that Gilens completed with San Francisco MUNI in 
 2012. The intent is to bring attention to our environment through fauna 
 that are endangered, central to the San Francisco Bay ecosystem, and 
 largely unseen by the local human population. The show runs from March 
 28th, through June 30th, there will be an opening reception on Thursday 
 April 17, 2014 from 6-9 pm. The installation will be in place for 6 
 months.\n\nThe photographs document the juxtaposition of the wrapped buses 
 and the urban context as they travel through The City. A new project on the 
 gallery's facade extends this work by returning images of the Sacramento 
 Sucker (Catostomus occidentalis) to Noe Valley. The LA&A studio, which is 
 the backdrop for the installation, is immediately adjacent to the historic 
 course of The Precita Creek, that these fish likely inhabited. The creek 
 ran from Twin Peaks to the Bay shore, along what is now upper 24th Street, 
 prior to the development of the area in the early 1900's. This hundred and 
 fifty square foot print brings the fish back to an original habitat and 
 into our collective imaginations.\n\nThe exhibit coincides with the 2014 
 "bio-blitz" a project sponsored by National Geographic and The GGNRA to 
 discover, count and document the living creatures in the parks.\n\nInside 
 the exhibit continues with a collection of archival pigment prints The 
 thirteen photographs are based on Gilens' 2011-12 project Endangered 
 Species, in which he designed four buswraps for San Francisco Muni buses, 
 each wrap an enlarged photograph of a local endangered animal. This is the 
 first San Francisco exhibition of these photographs.\n\nTodd Gilens is a 
 visual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His website is
