Go Chris G.! and thank you for keeping this issue alive (I'm a constituent who wrote you last year about this very issue.)
Once a week is enough for garbage pick-up especially when all recyclables are separated and go out once a week too. As a recycler, I am so tired of every-other week recycling pick-up. The little bins for paper and plastic overflow in wait! And we never have enough garbage to put out more than once a week since we recycle.
A documentary on Olivio Barbieri's Site Specific project is airing 11/19, 12/12 and 12/24 on the Sundance Channel:

and he'll be having another exhibition in Las Vegas in January at MCQ.
Related note to the SFMOMA show: Local artist Catherine Borg's work will be included in "Vegas Highs, Vegas Lows," a related film series presented by SFMOMA in December to coincide with the exhibition Double Down.

Everyone kept telling me that Oscar Goodman was an advocate for the arts in Las Vegas when I moved here but I never believed it. I was right... "I don't see a museum for art as necessary downtown," Goodman said. "The masters are on the Strip. There's also a round-trip plane fare to Los Angeles. It's not necessary to have an art museum. I want a mob museum."
It's all about what he wants, not what might be good for downtown. If people come back to visit downtown, will they want to go back to the mob museum or would they rather visit changing exhibits at an LV MOCA?
I'm disappointed to hear that the MOCA will not be happening on that site. I hope it will come to fruition downtown someday. We desperately need an institution of this caliber that is not on the Strip or on the western edge of town and if the collection is already here what a loss that we have no access to see such great work.
