Video Performance/Fort Point Solstice Celebration Boston MA6.21.02



Hi folks. I'll be doing video improvisations as part  the following 
event, which should be quite a shindig. I'll be going on at the Necco 
Court party when it gets dark enough to see my work, probably around 
8:30, and  will continue projecting for the duration . Directions to 
the Necco Court party at the bottom of the message.

(Boston) Once again, members of New England's largest artists' 
community are taking over Boston's Fort Point neighborhood, turning 
bridges into musical instruments, an industrial block into a nature 
walk and literally floating their art for all to see. Focused on 
expanding the visibility of this vibrant and vocal community, the 
Fort Point Cultural Coalition (FPCC) is continuing its ambitious 
public art series. This year's events commenced in April with the 
successful "Fort Point Vision for Public Art: A Multidisciplinary 
Charrette" hosted by Ricardo Barreto, Christina Lanzl and Jed Speare. 
The Art and Sol: A Summer Solstice Parade & Party will spill the 
spirit of that charrette out onto the sidewalks and into the channel. 
Public and performing artists will have a field day merrily making a 
creative splash on the water and streets of Fort Point. They will 
also regale the audience with a rollicking reception, a rolling bike 
parade, and a rockin', reelin' block party!

The solstice public art lineup includes:
*Bike Parade - a decorated bike parade, beginning and ending on the 
Summer St. Bridge [pre-solstice decoration opportunities: June 
15th-16th,Sat.-Sun., 10:00 am-4:00 pm, at 205 A St., 2d floor] - 
organized by Melora Kuhn
*Bridge Play - 100 sets of chimes hung along the Summer St. Bridge -

*Labyrinth - a bright blue tape labyrinth (a second one is located on

*Super Art vs. Super Commerce - the penultimate showing of a
