To Gather

Participatory Performance / Event

2013

An invitation to meet by the side of a road in rural Wisconsin. Walking single file down a narrow patch of grass. Cars whiz by at 60mph. Eight baskets of flowers collected over two days. Eight positions marked on the road for eight people. A score. Each person forms a letter out of flowers at a marked spot. Someone screams “car!” We rush to the side of the road and see the word, collectively revealed, before the next car rushes by.
