Gregory Sale and Kimi Eisele have a simple, yet profound question for Phoenicians: Ever wonder about the future of this place?
If so, you can immediately become an active participant in their interpretive piece Go Ahead, Wonder, which will have a presence at the “Phoenix as Wonderland: Art from New Times’ Best of Phoenix 2009” exhibit.
Sale’s idea for the piece – which is an amalgamation of media, text, photography, sound, interviews, and participation – was to envision his personal wonderland here in Phoenix as a community that gets involved with social issues.
The instructions go like this:
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Leave a one-minute voice message, e-mail one hundred words, or contribute at the opening of the “Phoenix as Wonderland” exhibition during October First Friday. Offer your vision for how this region could grow/change/evolve physically, ecologically, intellectually, socially, emotionally, culturally, and/or spiritually over the next ten, twenty, or fifty years.
