involved. the final issue is exposure. the choice has been made to continue with the natural turf. the beaches closer to the ocean. it is down more of the time. i'm not sure but i think their exposure is they do not have a lot of good southern or eastern exposure due to the trees and other things around there. it is more of a challenge to support the turf there. he would have to talk to some of the experts in park and rec or whoever is working on those to find out. it would be more of a challenge. commissioner moore: i have one question. on your instructions, you are asking written comments be submitted by december 12.

it and does that mean people will not submit by e-mail? there was no e-mail address given and people do not know what to do. >> i have received plenty of commentary mail. we were burned to respond to this. any mail will be in the comments. >> would you please state the e- mail address? >> bil.wycko@sfgov.org. also to don.lewis@sfgov.org. commissioner moore: thank you. commissioner sugaya: isn't it also true, staff, that -- in the

past on certain reports, we have been told they have been responding to comments that came in after the comment period? >> sarah jones. when a comment is submitted and is part of the record. for the purposes of addressing everything in the record, if the comet comes in after the comment time, we address it to the best of our ability. vice president miguel: just because of the question about e- mail, if that is policy, the e- mail address should be on the cover. in the future. president olague: i wanted to

make sure. >> the address is bill.wy cko@sfgov.org. president olague: i wanted to thank everyone for coming out. i think that given the multitude of issues that were raised we will have a lot of responding to do. what this race for me is the process question. this is something we could discuss during the comment period, the idea of providing more education to the public about the draft the our

process, and what types of comments are expected regarding the different documents and who has jurisdiction over what. i think sometimes, it is impossible for the public to understand the process that goes on here. i welcome the comments. comments and responses -- they are responded to and this -- there is park and rec and other bodies. there is plenty of time to weigh in on the project. this does not end after tonight. i want to thank the staff for

all your worked in the public for coming out. i guess the public hearing on this is closed. you have until december 12 to give responses and the e-mail address was given. thank you. >> thank you. at this point, you are now at your general public comment category. president olague: we're accepting general public comment on any items not on today's agenda. is there any general public comment? general public comment is closed. the meeting is adjourned.

>> sanrio famous for the designs

for hello kitty. i thought i would try to make it as cute as possible. that way people might want to read the stories. then people might be open to learn about the deities and the culture. ♪ they reached out to make about five or six years ago because of the book published. they appreciated that my work was clearly driven from my research and investigation. after i contributed my artwork, the museum was really beside themselves. they really took to it. the museum reached out to me to see if i would be interested in my own space inside the museum. i tell them that would be a dream come true.

it is the classical, beautiful indian mythology through the lens of modern design and illustration and storytelling. they're all of these great sketch as i did for the maharajah exhibition. i get a lot of feedback on my artwork and books. they complement. they say how original the work is. i am the first person to say that this is so derived from all of this great artwork and storytelling of the past. the research i put into all of my books and work is a product of how we do things that a-- at pixar. sometimes you will see him depicted monkey-like or as superman. i wanted to honor his monkey

coloring. i decided to paint him white with a darker face. it is nice to breathe new life into it in a way that is reverent and honors the past but also lets them breathe and have fun. it is almost a european notion to bring these symbols and icons from southeast asia. they decorate their deities. it was a god they interacted with every day in a human way. the most important thing has been to create work that is appealing to me. i want to see vishnu to pick did in a modern way. it dawned on me by reinterpreting the deities in a

way that is modern and reverent to the history, i am building a bridge for young and old audiences to make friends with the culture and these icons to learn their stories. ♪ >> i am the director of visual arts programming at intersection for the arts. intersection for the arts is based in san francisco and has always been an organization that looks at larger social political issues through the lens of practice, and we are here today

at our exhibition of "chico and chang." the original inspiration was drawn from a restaurant chain in new york city. half of their menu is -- what struck me was the graphic pictures and a man in a hat on a rig truck carrying take that time is containers and in the black sea to representation of a mexican guy wearing a sombrero and caring a somali horn. it struck me that these two large, very subversive complex cultures could be boiled down to such simple representations. chico and chang primarily looks at four topic areas. one of the man was is whose stories are being told and how. one of the artisans in the show

has created an amazing body of work working with young adults calling themselves the dreamers. another piece of the exhibition talks about whose stories of exhibition are actually being told. one artist created a magnificent sculpture that sits right in the center of the exhibition. >> these pieces are the physical manifestation of a narrative of a child in memory. an important family friend give us a dining table, very important, and we are excited about it. my little brother and i were 11, 14. we were realizing that they were kind of hand prints everywhere on the bottom where no one would really see, and it became this kind of a weakening of what child labor is. it was almost like an exercise

to show a stranger that feeling we had at that moment. >> the second thing the exhibition covers is how the allocation is defined, a great example on the theme, sculpture called mexicali culture. another bay area artist who has done residencies in china and also to what, mexico. where immigrant communities really helped define how businesses look of a business' sign age and interior decoration, her sculptural piece kind of mismatches the two communities together, creating this wonderful, fantastical future look at what the present is today. first topic is where we can see where the two communities are intersecting and where they start colliding.

teresa fernandez did a sculptural installation, utilizing the ubiquitous blue, white, and read patterns of a rayon bag that many communities used to transport laundry and laundromats to buy groceries and such. she created a little installation kind of mucking up the interior of a household, covering up as many objects that are familiar to the i and the fabric. fourth area of investigation that the exhibition looks at is the larger concerns of the asian and latin communities intersecting with popular cultur one best example -- when he's exemplified is what you see when you enter into the culture. >> this piece refers to

restaurants in tijuana. when you are driving, to speak chinese and you read chinese characters. you see these signs. i was trying to play with the idea of what you see and the direction you read. when you start mixing these different groups of people, different cultures, i like the idea. you can comment on somebody else's culture or someone else's understanding about culture. >> one of the hopes we have for visitors is that they go away taking a better understanding with the broadest and the breadth of issues impacting both the asian and latin communities here in california and how they spell out into the larger fabric of the communities we live and work in.
