DESCRIPTION:
tribe_chavez_flyer.jpg, image/jpeg, 421x556 Based on a speech originally given on May 2, 1971 by C?sar Ch?vez Creative Time and LACE presents Mark Tribe?s Port Huron Project 4: We Are Also Responsible, the fourth in a series of reenactments that draw upon the traditions of political demonstration, protest, and public address by restaging speeches from the New Left movements of the 1960s and 70s. This public performance features an impromptu speech delivered by C?sar Ch?vez at Exposition Park on May 2, 1971. The speech encourages underprivileged farm workers to fight for economic change rather than against the poor in other countries. Artist Ricardo Dominguez will deliver the speech. Though the speech makes direct reference to the Vietnam War and the concurrent Farm Workers movement, like the other reenactments in the Port Huron Project the speech was selected for its contemporary relevance-it contains arguments, declarations, and calls to action that are equally evocative and vital today. "The goal was to use the speeches not just as historical ready-mades or conceptual-art explorations of context," Tribe says, "but also as genuine form of protest, to point out with the help of art how much has changed, yet how much remains the same." The two remaining reenactments will take place in Oakland in August and New York City in September. Documentation from the Port Huron Project reenactments will be featured in a roomsized installation at the Democracy in America Convergence Center at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, from September 21 to 27. Selections from the Port Huron Project will also be shown in early fall at 44 1/2, MTV's gilded, outdoor HD screen in the heart of Times Square. This project is commissioned by Creative Time as a part of its public art initiative.Democracy in America: The National Campaign Inspired by artists, this series offers them platforms for addressing the shifting nature of democracy in this country. For further information on the Port Huron Project go to porthuronproject.net. ABOUT MARK TRIBE Mark Tribe is an artist, curator, and the founder of Rhizome.org. He is also an Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media Studies at Brown University, where he teaches courses on digital art, curating, open-source culture, radical media, and surveillance. His work has been exhibited at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and the Gigantic Art Space in New York City. ABOUT CREATIVE TIME After 34 years of New York-based projects, Democracy in America continues Creative Time's national program, which was launched with Paul Chan's Wating for Godot in New Orleans in 2007. By bringing Democracy in America to communities around the nation, Creative Time deepens its commitment to artists working outside New York City, sharing our their belief in the transformative power of public art with the broadest possible audience. During the lead-up to the 2004 election season, Creative Time presented Freedom of Expression National Monument, a giant megaphone for public address, and Jenny Holzer's For New York City, in which the artist's truisms-including "ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SUPRISE"- were pulled by airplanes over the skies of New York City. Recent projects include Tribute in Light, which served as a gesture of hope and healing after 9/11; Doug Aitken: Sleepwalkers, a film projected on the Museum of Modern Art, NY; and Who Cares, a series of projects that explored art and social action.
