Wonderland Dialogue via SFMOMA

some of the comments are quite interesting:

Ranu Mukherjee Says:

As part of one of the artist teams in Wonderland, I want to mention that this blog opens up an interesting and important conversation to a public, which has been going on within the various agencies involved with the project for some time, starting with the Tenderloin’s Community Benefit District who are its fiscal sponsors.

We are considering the terms of our engagement here constantly. My experience thus far has been anything but distanced and disengaged. We have been working and talking with many amazing people of all ages who live, work and/or go to school in the neighborhood. I would consider these to be sustainable affective relationships. Art is not a new presence in the Tenderloin by any stretch of the imagination and out of respect to those who have contributed their voices to this project, I hope that the questions raised here will not overshadow the ability of visitors to connect.

The opening for this show will be during the day and include a block party in Boedekker Park on Ellis Street. There will be a symposium the following day during which, hopefully this conversation can go live!"

read the original article here. I have more to say on this article but am deep in the midst of organizing other aspects of Wonderland. Hopefully soon I will post something more in depth.
