----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- CITY|SPACE presents: No [EMAIL PROTECTED] Way - Selling the Bus to America
Thursday, June 22nd 7:30 pm FREE ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- A panel discussion as part of the exhibition GET ON THE BUS. Join us for a lively evening with marketing and public relations professionals to talk about what they'd do if The Bus was their client. About GET ON THE BUS Get on the Bus will consider the experience, culture, and meaning of our nation's least-loved transit mode. Stigmatized as the transit of last resort-the realm of the poor, elderly, and infirm-the bus nonetheless moves millions of people every day. On the cutting edge in some cities, marginalized in others, the bus evokes a surprising range of emotions for people, planners, cities and artists. Get on the Bus will begin to illuminate the world of the bus as a ubiquitous but neglected arena of city life. An open call drew submissions from seven countries. Selected works are drawn from throughout the US, as well as Canada, Mexico, and the UK, and include fine art, documentary photography, lighthearted urban interventions, and a range of film and video projects. In addition innovative, historic, and artistically modified buses are anticipated to be on display at various times during the exhibition. CITY|SPACE is working with local transit agencies, including San Francisco MUNI, AC Transit, and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and expects to collaborate with them on a variety of projects, including the donation of buses to the exhibit. About CITY|SPACE CITY|SPACE is a cultural organization dedicated to exploring the built environment through events and exhibitions in a wide range of disciplines, including design, visual art, cultural landscape research, and film. CITY|SPACE cuts across disciplinary boundaries to draw on a wide range of work: aesthetic, documentary, architectural, and beyond, that converges around the city as we find it, make it, and struggle with it. By engaging Bay Area audiences in complex and challenging questions about the cities we inhabit, we hope to deepen our communities' experience, understanding, and stewardship of urban places For more information about CITY|SPACE visit: www.city-space.org ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ The Levin Brothers Warehouse 2255 Third Street San Francisco 415.244.2618 Bus Lines 15 - Third Street, 22- Fillmore, 48- Quintara, 24th Street Lines ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510.704.1352 www.city-space.org ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
