Muni Media Map Art Show This Saturday

Leave a comment

What are these good people doing, you ask? These are the participants of a Muni prom on the L for a project called Muni Media Map, where artists select a specific Muni line to explore in a medium of his choice. Zoe Burton picked the L line, where riders dressed in their finest prom wear and rode the train together.

From the organizers:

The Muni Media Map is a celebration of that glorious chaos: a collaborative multimedia exhibition organized by Revel Art Collective including 20+ Bay Area participants. Each artist selected a specific Muni line to explore in a medium of their choice, including sculpture, sound, music, mixed media collage, illustration, performance art, video, time lapse photography, interviews, comics, and participatory events. The Muni Media Map displays and integrates these investigations as a giant interpretive map of the city, transforming the gallery itself into an installation.

This Saturday you can see the Muni media map on display as a part of the 100 Days of Spring show.

Details:

Saturday, May 28th
5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Schoolhouse
1592 Market St. at Page and Franklin (map)

I thought for a minute that these bus riders were all holding up the same sign, but photog Robert B. Livingston explains that these were bus riders looking out to picketing hotel workers. The signs were simply a reflection.

Here are more Muni photos for your enjoyment. Scroll down to see what adorable stowaway we found on the bus.

And remember: help us find your amazing Muni pictures by dropping them in our Muni Photo Pool!

God of Public Transit Lives Here

One of our favorite web peeps, the Tenderloin Geographic Society, found an awesome wood print by a friend who was doing a project at SFMOMA, now on display at Mission Cultural Center. For the project, artist Imin Yeh created an alternative Chinese New Year celebration, with museum visitors producing seemingly “auspicious” cultural objects.

The God of Public Transportation looks pretty auspicious to me. She’s got two bucks at the ready and kick-ass boots. And she’s riding the storied 38-Geary.

Check out the Tenderloin Geographic Society‘s other photo finds around the city.
