Art with Construction Machinery

I know - it sounds like a burning man thing - I think I saw pictures of giant art sculptures made from heavy industrial equipment. But this is different - Roadworks - Steamroller Prints is sponsored by one of my favorite little places in SF - the Center for the Book. A place where you can go learn how to typeset the old fashioned way, bind books and this weekend - make art prints with a steamroller!

This is sure to delight the whole family - who doesn't get a kick from watching a steamroller rollover something and completely flatten it. In this case, artists have made large scale linoleum blocks that will then be run over in the middle of DeHaro Street! The prints they did last year look really great, and this year there are some great artists on the line-up, including Paul Madonna of "All Over Coffee" in the Chron.
