Open Space

Thank you to everyone who made Open Space possible, up front, behind, & around the scene(s)... We'd name you, but... that's a long thread. Or a 10-min video (by @millennyem). It concludes our final post (by @atsuzanne & #claudialarocco): openspace.sfmoma.org/2021/12/track-… ♥️♥️ The End.

♥️♥️ Steve Seid! Not least among these markers are Steve's detail-rich contributions: openspace.sfmoma.org/author/stevese…

just finished putting final touches on final OS newsletter, which goes out monday. endless thanks to Sam Mende-Wong, the OS email marketing manager -- such important, behind-the-scenes work.

"I’m grateful to everyone who has helped to make Open Space what it is… whatever version that is, to you." -Claudia La Rocco openspace.sfmoma.org/2021/12/track-…

@Open_Space A line from an earlier clr review comes to mind—“what even to say about the relief of encountering art like this?” Thank you all for your work on this platform ♥️

"Open Space was (past tense!) an experiment, a challenge, an architecture, a lark. (Also, a thing that sings.)" -Suzanne Stein (@atsuzanne) openspace.sfmoma.org/2021/12/track-…

@atsuzanne @FrankSFNYC Oh, Frank. Thank you.

@FrankSFNYC Thank you dear Frank - means everything to hear this from you 💕

Open Space was always within, and against. This tension and contradiction was built in from the beginning, made it what it was. If the platform is lost, I like to think the possibility isn’t. — from @atsuzanne — No better way to thank you & clr than to ride that thought.

@EmilyJCatalyst so glad to count your voice within the OS chorus 💕💕

@Open_Space So beautiful. Always. Thank you. ❤️

@nalgonabooks ummm... you're clearly a sure bet thank you thank you for the myriad beautiful words (not to mention the paragraph-long hyperlinks...) 💙

@lynellgeorge SO glad we got to work with you 💕💕

@lynne_bias thank you, Jess! we (broken record) loved working with you.

How does one do justice to such an ever-expanding entity, to get at its density and its reach? We asked Lenny Gonzalez to try. His answer, in collaboration with animator Chris O’Dowd, is this video, the final Open Space commission. openspace.sfmoma.org/2021/12/track-…

@vadiparty so glad we got to work with you 💙
