Holzer would never be this generous intellectually, conceptually or pragmatically. You are right, the mistake that curators like Mary Jane Jacob made---no relation to Jane Jacobs in the eighties was to have the artist act as social worker/politician----MiWon Kwan discussed this issue extensively in her book and Carroll understands the roles and what needs to be done on the ground to not make the work be a gratuitous gesture. I missed the event as well, but it will be up until the end of May and I hope that I will fly into Newark and see it from the plane.
