About this project

Social awareness is alive in the streets of downtown Los Angeles…as a parade! On Sunday, October 2, 2011, at 11 am the streets of downtown Los Angeles will erupt in a parade of local artists and residents, complete 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. Help us make the revitalized historic Broadway come alive for this celebration of art, music, dance and community activism.

Trespass has commissioned over 60 Los Angeles-based artists to produce a statement—their call to action, pleasure and reciprocity. The statements printed on T-shirts in English and in Spanish will be worn as part of the parade. With the t-shirts serving as our unofficial uniforms, free speech will resound in the voices of the most influential contemporary artists, the youth of our time, and the diverse L.A. public.

Amazing performance artists, philosophers, musician, sound wizards and dancers, will make this an unforgettable moment for the cultural life in the streets of downtown L.A.

Trespass invites us all to gather in this time of world turmoil and change to rise up and speak out in spectacle.

Keep public art alive and keep us marching on! Donate Now so we reach our goal of 2,600 ft! Just $5 moves the float 1 whole foot! Trespass!

This project has been created to coincide with the opening of Pacific Standard Time, a collaboration of more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California, who are coming together this fall for the first time to celebrate the birth of the L.A. art scene.

Including the participation of over sixty artists, the exhibition reinterprets the corpse as a carnivalesque bacchanal where hierarchies between body parts dissolve into a throbbing hermaphroditic mass.

“A DESIRE TO LEARN ESPERANTO:
HAVING A THING to do with Esperanto, Ballantine Beer, both or neither”

Nancy Lupo for works sited

August 30 - September 30, 2010

“Imagine that you are on a train car sitting next to a Russian gentleman with whom you wish to speak. You have brought with you a key to Esperanto in Russian. On the back of the key is written (in Russian), “Everything written in Esperanto can be translated by the help of this vocabulary.” You give the gentleman a sentence written in Esperanto, and he will be able to make out your sentence in a very short time by using the key. As an example Dr. Zamenhof gives the following sentence: Mi ne sci’as kie mi las’is la baston’o'n: Cxu vi gxi’n ne vid’is?”

The Bidoun Library Project at the New Museum is a highly partial account of five decades of printed matter in, near, about, and around the Middle East. Arrayed along the library’s shelves are pulp fictions and propaganda, monographs and guidebooks, and pamphlets and periodicals, representing the oil boom and the Dubai bust, the Cold War and the hot pant; depicting Pan-Arabs and Black Muslims, revolutionaries and royals, Orientalism and its opposites.

For the opening night Bidoun will present selected readings and video clips from the collection. In addition, for the opening day of the project, Bidoun has invited booksellers usually found outside the New York University library to set up shop outside the New Museum.

Join us afterward for dancing and drinks at:

Regen Projects

In most Los Angeles social circles, when one speaks of the “industry” they are referring to the Entertainment Industry (a.k.a. the “Picture Industry”). Pictures have a knack for supplanting the concrete, sliding as though self-lubricating around the globe, like poltergeists, they haunt the world they represent like vague recollections, inhabiting concrete forms briefly until slipping off to another host, a billboard here, a magazine page there, creating momentary associations, and chance resonances. And what to make of the application of the term industry, with the heaviness of factories and smoke stacks encircling it, to the production of ephemeral pictures whose power is synonymous with their lightness? It could be said that it is the seemingly invisible and ephemeral aspects–the means of distribution, the contextual frame, the vicissitudes of taste, and an object’s ability to “pass”–which serve as the most robust material of the contemporary work, an embrace of convention that produces an endless sequence of provisional “meanings.” Perhaps the only solution available to us is to allow pictures to be concrete, to reclaim their moments of heaviness, instead of pretending that they are endlessly able to float listlessly in the breeze.
