>> Steven Barich Wanted
>> 23rd & Treat Sts. (and many posts and billboards throughout the  
>> Mission) - 11AM to 5PM
>> This project investigates what one person could be truly wanted for  
>> and solicits public participation to conspire to catch an artist.  
>> WANTED posters will appear around the Mission District describing a  
>> young artist named S.R. Kucharski who is wanted for all types of

>> curators and art dealers to further his career. The posters request  
>> that any sightings of this artist be reported to 1-877-372-6939.

>> B.A.R.G.E. Groundbreaking
>> 822 Alabama St. (at 20th St.) - 11AM to 5PM
>> BARGE will enter a vacant privately owned fenced-off lot and begin  
>> reframing it as a public park. The initial groundbreaking ceremony  
>> will be the daylong excavation of a 'gash' in the land,  
>> symbolically 'liberating' the buried potential of privatized space  
>> that could be re-purposed for public use. Instead of making  
>> earthworks we will be *doing* earth-work, foregrounding the  
>> collaborative labor required to reclaim the commons in the midst of  
>> gentrification pressures and the affordable housing crisis.  
>> Handouts will be available throughout the day, with hopes of  
>> producing a temporary and autonomous public artwork by the end of  
>> the day.
>>
>> Arianna Davalos The Complaint Department
>> 24th & Folsom Sts. - 11AM to 5PM
>> The Complaint Department is a public service that provides a safe  
>> place for ranting, whining, and venting. People will be invited to  
>> file complaints directly and confidentially with the Complaint  
>> Department Manager who will record their grievances and notify the  
>> universe of its problems via a Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/sfcomplaintdept 
>>  ). Complainers will receive baked compensation for participating.  
>> Results may vary.
>>
>> Christian L. Frock presents Invisible Venue Legs
>> Embarcadero St. Bart Station - 11AM to 5PM
>> The artist will administer and record an unsanctioned public  
>> opinion poll about Barbara Showcroft's Legs, a neglected public  
>> sculpture located within the Embarcadero BART/MUNI station since  
>> its installation in 1978. The poll will be an informal survey of  
>> how people engage with the individual work and public art in  
>> general, and what their thoughts are on its condition. Information  
>> about the sculpture will be distributed as well as information on  
>> an ongoing Invisible Venue project titled "Sunday Series,"  
>> documented lunchtime discussions that implement this sculpture as a  
>> launching point to discuss public art in general. Findings from the  
>> surveys filled out during this intervention will be published on www.invisiblevenue.com 
>>  and www.visiblealternative.com in January 2010.
>>
>> Packard Jennings The Pocket Survival Guide
>> Meet at SoEx (3030 20th St.) - 3PM
>> Participants are invited to meet at SoEx for a 20-minute workshop  
>> to fold instructional pamphlets on how to devise an emergency raft  
>> out of recycled product packaging in case of a catastrophic flood-  
>> a consequence of consumer waste and mass production that  
>> contributes to pollution, and global warming. Once the Pocket  
>> Survival Guides are folded, participants will enter various stores  
>> and install them on consumer products to replicate "instant savings  
>> coupons." Future customers will be happy to find their household  
>> purchases subverted by public art!
>>
>> Southern Exposure Youth Advisory Board Return to the Garden
>> Esperanza Gardens, 685 Florida St. at 19th St. - 3 to 5PM
>> SoEx's Youth Advisory Board (YAB) engages the public in a project  
>> that aims to retrace and re-contextualize their observations,  
>> experiences and interpretations of the immediate space surrounding  
>> SoEx. YAB members collaborate and intervene with Esperanza Gardens,  
>> in a piece that is both sculptural and interactive. Reflecting upon  
>> the existence of urban gardens as points of artistic, ecological  
>> and social resistance, YAB creates a link between SoEx and  
>> Esperanza Gardens which invites participants to share and exchange  
>> knowledge and ideas.
>>
>> Chris Treggiari and Jessica Watson All Aboard
>> Former train stops throughout the Mission District (refer to map  
>> for exact locations) - 11AM to 5PM
>> The train was once the main method of long distance travel that  
>> forced riders to sit, wait and take in their surroundings. This  
>> project follows part of the route of the historic South Pacific  
>> Railroad line along Harrison Street with markers acting as  
>> "stations" inviting participants to "hop on board" while providing  
>> interesting facts about the railroad and its long history. The  
>> route will end at a train depot (NE corner of 24th and Capp  
>> Streets) where participants will be greeted by a train attendant  
>> and given a uniquely rendered ticket, each featuring a different  
>> destination that the Southern Pacific Railroad served.
>>
>> Linda Trunzo Olives on the Fly
>> SE corner of 19th St. & York St. - 12 to 3PM
>> In response to San Francisco's rising cost of living, and the  
>> challenges faced by those seeking to make ends meet in a difficult  
>> economy, Linda Trunzo barters home-olives collected from  
>> neighborhood trees. In exchange for olives and the artist's recipe  
>> for urban-farmed antipasti, participants are asked to trade useful  
>> found and remade objects as well as personal stories that have  
>> helped their owners cope with financial hardship.
>>
>> Heather Van Winckle An Effective Use of Time
>> Mission and 24th Sts. and Bryant and 22nd Sts. Muni bus shelters -  
>> 11AM to 5PM
>> Inspired by her day-job in a downtown firm and corporate policy on  
>> "Time Theft," the artist will be consolidating the California Penal  
>> Code's sections concerning theft (section 484-502.9) into an easy- 
>> to-read presentation locked to bus stops throughout the Mission  
>> District. The hope is that people will further examine notions of  
>> private property and time as a personal commodity while waiting for  
>> the bus - popularly acknowledged as the ultimate time-waste  
>> receptacle.
>>
>> Victoria Wagner Please Listen To Me...
>> NW corner of South Van Ness & 23rd - 12 to 5PM
>> In an effort to provide respite from one's repetitive thoughts,  
>> Please Listen To Me is an anonymous diaristic platform that allows  
>> participants to email their private thoughts to pleaselistentomediary at gmail.com 
>>  during the month of December. Each entry will be left unread and  
>> anonymous and entrants will receive a daily affirmation in exchange  
>> for their confessions. The project will be launched during the  
>> Juried Public Art/Urban Intervention Day through an informational  
>> pathway of business ca
