<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Steven Barich</b> <i>Wanted</i><br>
<b>23rd & Treat Sts. (and many posts and billboards throughout the Mission) - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
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 trespasses: visual terrorism, image propaganda, and bribing curators and art dealers to further his career. The posters request that any sightings of this artist be reported to 1-877-372-6939. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>B.A.R.G.E.</b> <i>Groundbreaking</i> <br>
<b>822 Alabama St. (at 20th St.) - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Arianna Davalos</b> <i>The Complaint Department</i><br>
<b>24th & Folsom Sts. - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
<i>The Complaint Department</i> 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 (<a href="http://twitter.com/sfcomplaintdept" target="_blank"><a href="http://twitter.com/sfcomplaintdept">http://twitter.com/sfcomplaintdept</a></a> ). Complainers will receive baked compensation for participating. Results may vary. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Christian L. Frock presents Invisible Venue</b> <i>Legs</i><br>
<b>Embarcadero St. Bart Station - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
The artist will administer and record an unsanctioned public opinion poll about Barbara Showcroft's <i>Legs</i>, 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 <a href="http://www.invisiblevenue.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.invisiblevenue.com">www.invisiblevenue.com</a></a> and <a href="http://www.visiblealternative.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.visiblealternative.com">www.visiblealternative.com</a></a> in January 2010. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Packard Jennings</b> <i>The Pocket Survival Guide</i><br>
<b>Meet at SoEx (3030 20th St.) - 3PM</b><br>
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 <i>Pocket Survival Guides</i> 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! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Southern Exposure Youth Advisory Board</b> <i>Return to the Garden</i><br>
<b>Esperanza Gardens, 685 Florida St. at 19th St. - 3 to 5PM</b><br>
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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Chris Treggiari and Jessica Watson</b> <i>All Aboard</i><br>
<b>Former train stops throughout the Mission District (refer to map for exact locations) - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Linda Trunzo</b> <i>Olives on the Fly</i><br>
<b>SE corner of 19th St. & York St. - 12 to 3PM</b><br>
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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Heather Van Winckle</b> <i>An Effective Use of Time</i><br>
<b>Mission and 24th Sts. and Bryant and 22nd Sts. Muni bus shelters - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
Inspired by her <i>day-job</i> 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Victoria Wagner</b> <i>Please Listen To Me...</i> <br>
<b>NW corner of South Van Ness & 23rd - 12 to 5PM</b><br>
In an effort to provide respite from one's repetitive thoughts, <i>Please Listen To Me</i> is an anonymous diaristic platform that allows participants to email their private thoughts to <a href="mailto:pleaselistentomediary@gmail.com" target="_blank"><a href="mailto:pleaselistentomediary@gmail.com">pleaselistentomediary@gmail.com</a></a> 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 cards that will guide volunteers to the artist who will answer any questions regarding the project. The project will be documented, photographed, archived and posted on <a href="http://pleaselistentomediary.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://pleaselistentomediary.blogspot.com">pleaselistentomediary.blogspot.com</a></a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> <b>Jackson Wang</b> <i>Peace of Mind</i><br>
<b>Dolores Park, 16th St. Bart, Franklin Square, Mission Park and Playground (refer to map for exact locations) - 11AM to 5PM</b><br>
PEACE of MIND TM, a pseudo-consumer product company, has created a line of products designed to alleviate the American public's anxieties over our social, economical and political climate. Relief products will be made available in boxes placed in congested public areas that may present possible risks to the public well-being. Through <i>Peace of Mind</i> the artist confronts issues such as the price of security, the marketing of fear for consumer purposes, and current policy regarding relief administration.</span></p>

<h1><span style="font-size:medium">ONGOING EXHIBITION</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-size:medium"> <i>Bellwether</i><br>
Ongoing through December 12, 2009<br>
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 12 - 6 pm</span></h1>
<h2><span style="font-size:medium">Featuring newly commissioned work by Ant Farm, Renee Gertler, Liz Glynn, Jonn Herschend, Whitney Lynn, Jay Nelson, Nonchalance, Lordy Rodriguez, Christine Wong Yap, and SoEx's Youth Advisory Board.</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:medium"> Southern Exposure proudly presents <i>Bellwether</i>, the inaugural exhibition in our new home on 20th Street in San Francisco's Mission District. The artists in <i>Bellwether</i> engage in multi-layered speculative projections on our ever shifting and uncertain future. Whether by indulging in their hopeful fantasies or examining their trepidation, the artists provide unique and perhaps unconventional tools and methodologies for envisioning and navigating the unknown. Through anticipation and fear, excitement and anxiety, prediction and instruction, the projects in this exhibition begin to give form to the haziness that lies ahead.<br>
<br>
<i>Bellwether</i> includes a gallery exhibition, public art projects, an extensive public program series and catalog designed by MacFadden and Thorpe and published by Southern Exposure.</span></p>
