Who:
The Movement Movement: You, your neighbours, your friends and a bunch
of people you don't know yet
When:
Saturday September 15 at 11am. Warm up starts at 10:40am
Where:
Trinity-Bellwoods Park, 790 Queen Street West Toronto, Canada. Meet
in between the ice rink and the baseball diamond on the east side of
the park. Or go to the Art
That Binds Performance Zone (it's on the QWAC map) and
ask staff for directions.
What:
The production of a path that runs in
between a baseball diamond and a hockey rink, down a hill, into a depressed
bowl in the centre of the park, back up a hill, across an existing path,
into a wooded area, and comes to an abrupt end at a road.
How:
By labouring to run 5 KM together
Why:
Make ground by taking ground to temporarily run public space
FANCY FOOTWORK MANDATORY.
This fun activity is a social exercise that requires the participation
of hundreds of people armed with running shoes and poised with purpose:
to make a mark in the neighbourhood by shaping a 300-meter footpath
running across Trinity-Bellwoods Park. Participants take part in the
production of an earthwork, contemporary art that uses the earth as
canvas or medium, to become agents of change in the production of public
space. This community run earthwork is a re-enactment of an issue or
conflict literally ‘run into the ground’. The dividing line
in the neighbourhood is the community's statement about the over development
of West Queen West and the battle for control over its development.
The result of this activity -a new and unlikely path running through
the park- makes visible the literal weight of the community, how it
runs and how it labours. In its final form it is an unusual route to
take (not your usual walk in the park) but functions as a path, however
meandering across Trinity-Bellwoods. It is an aggressive route, the
battle scar of a running protest to make ground by taking ground. What
remains in the turf war is a work of public art that makes visible the
impact of the community, how it runs and how it labours.
