Sunday, October 2, 2011trespassparade.org
On Sunday, October 2, 2011 by 11:00am the streets of Downtown Los Angeles will erupt in a parade of local artists and residents along Broadway as Trespass parade takes over with music, dancing and performance. The parade celebrates the culmination of Trespass, a collaborative project between Arto Lindsay, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and West of Rome Public Art. Trespass has commissioned over 60 Los Angeles-based artists to produce a statement—each expressing a call to action, pleasure and reciprocity. The statements will be printed on T-shirts in English and in Spanish and worn as part of the parade. The T-shirts will also be sold online to benefit the project. Many of the artists will join the parade with a performative piece. The parade will first convene at 1933 South Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90007.
Besides Arto Lindsay and Rirkrit Tiravanija, participating artists include: Eleanor Antin, Edgar Arceneaux, Lisa Anne Auerbach, John Baldessari, Scott Benzel, Walead Beshty, Andrea Bowers, Nancy Buchanan, Chris Burden, Vaginal Davis, Sam Durant, Charles Gaines, Cheri Gaulke, Amy Gerstler, Piero Golia, Matt Greene, Julian Hoeber, Alex Israel, Glenn Kaino, Dawn Kasper, Mike Kelley, Chris Kraus, Barbara Kruger, Joel Kyack, Suzanne Lacy, Liz Larner, William Leavitt, Sharon Lockhart, Ann Magnuson, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Dave Muller, T.
