SFist interviews Artis Mark Mulroney

"AnTEAcipation" screens at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission St. @ 3rd) as part of the SF World Music Festival.

Festooned with regal ceiling banners directing us to each artist’s custom-built exhibition space (the work of MFA graduate Michael Zheng, we found out), the grand hall allowed for ease of movement and a bit of welcome autonomy between each presentation. However, we only noticed this after being greeted by the life-sized, taxidermied rocking horse that is Katherine Worel's The Rocking Horse Winner.
