In recent years artists have been increasingly interested in the possibilities parades or processions provide as artistic media. Oscillating between street performance, theatre, carnival, and demonstration, the parade has proliferated in the context of biennial events and as a standalone Gesamtkunstwerk.
This panel discusses the different forms parades can take and introduces examples from recent artistic and curatorial productions around the world.
With Marlon Griffith (artist, Port of Spain), Arto Lindsay (artist, Rio de Janeiro), Jennifer Scott (Adjunct Professor of Anthropology, The New School, New York), Claire Tancons (curator and art historian, New Orleans). Moderated by Tobi Maier (critic and curator, Ludlow 38, New York).
