Art Idea: Black America

make a world map

make it giant in its scale

black out the U.S. with long, thick black bars

hang everywhere

1. Rent a hotel room

2. Invite a local performance artist to perform there

3. Invite interesting and fun locals to your room

4. Repeat in a different city

Take a mannequin. In strategic places, the groin, the breasts, the mouth, stomach, etcetera, install small video monitors.

groin: hand doing gestures.

breasts: milk spilling or tears falling.

stomach: glue pooling. or bananas.

mouth: moths or butterflies escaping.

armpits: mold or flowers growing.

ass: trumpets blowing angels or guns firing.

Make banners with simple concepts:
‘trees’
‘people’
‘cracks’
‘vines’

hang in public areas ripe for reclamation.

hang whatever you would like to see there.
