Joe Ovelman - this time there's a map

Joe just called to let me know that this time there is a map, because he has spread the work across a number of blocks. The endpoints are West 16th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and Tenth Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets. Every location has a map showing the location of the other works. We have go out and see them now.

Here is the last post I did on one of his installations two weeks ago. James did one too.

Election night events

I hope to be celebrating, not drowning my sorrows, on election night. I actually hope we know who the “winner” is that night, and that they don’t put NYC under martial law.

I know of two lists of election night events:

  • From Joy Garnett, a list of exhibitions related to the election, which includes some election night events
  • From culturebot.org

I also know of parties at White Box, Exit Art, in Manhattan, and Four Walls Projects at Supreme Trading in Williamsburg.

Also, Not in Our Name is gathering at Union Square, 5-10.

Let me know if you hear of any others, and where you’re planning to be on election night.

Sports

I don’t get it. To me, caring about who wins a baseball game is like screaming “Yeah! Coke beat Pepsi!” They’re all corporate brands.

Is that George Clinton at the DanceMob?

From John Perry Barlow

Following our forays during the Republican National Convention, many in our DanceMob declared that dancing in the streets had been so much gosh-darned fun that it would be a good thing to do even without a targeted political motive.
