BOP Extra: Gregory Sale and Kimi Eisele Want Your Feedback on How to Improve Phoenix

Gregory Sale and Kimi Eisele have a simple, yet profound question for Phoenicians: Ever wonder about the future of this place?

If so, you can immediately become an active participant in their interpretive piece Go Ahead, Wonder, which will have a presence at the "Phoenix as Wonderland: Art from New Times' Best of Phoenix 2009" exhibit.

Sale's idea for the piece - which is an amalgamation of media, text, photography, sound, interviews, and participation - was to envision his personal wonderland here in Phoenix as a community that gets involved with social issues.
