Susan Schwartzenberg
Susan Schwartzenberg is a visual artist, photographer, and curator whose work engages the public dialogue through themes of memory, history, and the psychology of place. She works in the public realm investigating the ways the stories of people and place find form within a spatial awareness of the local landscape and environmental conditions. She is based at the San Francisco Exploratorium where she initiated and directs the Fisher Bay Observatory, a windowed room of exhibits, instruments and artworks designed to encourage an awareness of the built and natural landscape at the museum’s new site on the urban edge of San Francisco Bay. She has exhibited her work internationally and has built projects at Stanford University, San Francisco, Richmond, and Los Angeles.
