Plaza Hotel

February 9 – March 9, 1996

Opening Reception: 6:00pm – 8:00pm, Friday, February 9, 1996

 

Richards investigates his experience of living below the Plaza Hotel, a transient hotel located on Sixth Street between Market and Howard Streets in San Francisco. He describes his version of the hotel’s interior not as a literal recreation but as “an imaginary interior landscape, one catalyzed by both the ghostly life of the urban transient and the relentlessly present intensity that permeates the neighborhood.”
