Guest BROWNer Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 this dude was featured in Art in America a couple issues back, i got a kick out of it.. peep this fresh shit> William Pope.L The Great White Way: 22 miles, 5 years, 1 street, 2002 http://www.elproyecto.com/popelimg/crawl.jpg'>*** Since 1978, William Pope.L has enacted more than forty performances he calls "Crawl" pieces, physically and psychologically demanding events that require the artist to crawl on his hands and knees along public sidewalks until the point of exhaustion. His acts of prostration metaphorically challenge the notion that living on the street is a passive act of surrender and draw on traditions in art history of radical public interventions that convey a desire for social change. heh heh http://www.elproyecto.com/popelimg/supermancrawl.jpg'> Wearing a capeless Superman suit, Pope.L initiates his longest "Crawl" to date--a marathon twenty-two-mile trek that begins at the Statue of Liberty, traverses the length of Manhattan via Broadway, and concludes in the Bronx. Conducted in segments, it will take the artist approximately five years to complete. http://www.elproyecto.com/popelimg/popel1.jpg'> Broken Column (for Eva) (1-9) Mayonnaise jars, wood boxes, packing tape, aluminum foil 9 boxes, each 52" x 4 1/2" x 4" http://www.elproyecto.com/popelimg/popel2.jpg'>*** Ireland (detail) Assorted underwear on floor dimensions variable 2001 http://www.elproyecto.com/popelimg/popel4.jpg'> Map of the World Frankfurters, nails, wood, condiments, charcoal, white glue on sheet rock dimensions variable http://www.tenbyten.net/images/williampope.jpg'> ***=realaudio(this is NOT pope.l music, it's arthur doyle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nG Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 i love this stuff. reminds me of joseph beuys, or (speaking of crazy 70s artists) vito acconci. for one performance acconci constructed a raised platform in a gallery, and lay beneath it fantasising about the people walking above and masturbating.
