Striking work by English sculptor Cornelia Parker at the De Young museum in San Francisco. The piece is constructed from the remains of a Southern Black Baptist church in Alabama that was destroyed by arsonists. [NOTE: According to the signage, "the title Anti-mass refers both to the elemental substance and the Catholic sacramental ritual, uniting science and religion in a metaphoric insistence on the triumph of creativity over violence. Just so you know].
