Artists selected to create Harvey Milk commemorative sculpture
Quote:
The Daub Firmin Hendrickson Sculpture Group won a national competition to create a commemorative sculpture of the late Harvey Milk for permanent exhibition in San Francisco City Hall.
[...]
The winning artists were selected from among 40 entries in a national competition by a panel comprising community representatives and arts professionals. The team of artists will have a year to complete the sculpture, which will be 75 inches in height. The sculpture will most likely be displayed in the Ceremonial Rotunda adjacent to the Board of Supervisors' Chamber and will be unveiled on Milk's birthday -- May 22 -- next year.

I have to ask (because they are clearly declining, for some reason, to say), "Which community?"

and on the topic of Van Sant's movie about Milk...
Sean Penn to star as Harvey Milk
Quote:
...and Matt Damon his assassin
[...]
...Van Sant hopes to begin production on the as-yet-untitled feature in San Francisco as early as December. The uncertain start date may affect Damon's participation as Milk's killer, Dan White.
Not my first choice, but possibly an inspired one. Penn *IS* phenominal, at times. cf: Dead Man Walking; Carlito's Way
