Yeah, SFMOMA blog! Let’s hear it for “creative projects that address in some way this depression/recession/whatever-you-want-to-call-it -— especially those that are not necessarily offering up utopian solutions but scrutinizing how and why we create value in art and commodities in the first place.”
