I pass through the United terminal at SFO pretty regularly. As I walk quickly toward the gates, I pass a changing art display area. It’s an interesting way to view art—drive-by connoisseurship.

The displays are quite varied. I have seen collections of miniature skyscrapers, percussion instruments, Mexican tiles, and dinosaurs.

But, the current display has me baffled. It’s a collection of disparate objects ranging from a giant pirate’s head to an old painting of a sailing ship to a set of enormous shark jaws (with teeth), to some crabs worthy of Fisherman’s Wharf.

Of course, it could just be that, at the speed I am passing, I have just completely missed the point of this exhibit.

Has anyone seen this exhibit? If so, can you tell me what’s the theme?
