The III and Army Project

THE III AND ARMY project features the character of Dick Richard the III and his living environment in the neighborhood of Bayview Hunters Point in the city of San Francisco. Dick Richard the III is a preforming artist that lives under the robuste concrete structures that support the exits of 101 Highway. This area is also known as 3rd and Army. The place is restricted to the general public due to the high toxicity of the water and the on going constructions. Also the area is particularly interesting because of it's historic context. The broken wood docks date back to the late 1800s. An article from the San Francisco Chronicle of November 1868 describes the hard work that the builders of the Hunter's Point Dry Dock did to make a successful docking of Pacific Mail Steamship's Company's side-wheel passenger steamer Colorado. Too see the full newspaper article visit: http://www.zpub.com/sf/thepoint/DOCKCOLORADO.html.

THE III AND ARMY marries the aesthetic of Dick Richard the III with his environment, creating a very artistic yet historical piece that reassembles one of the oldest constructions in the city of San Francisco.
