TRESPASS/PARADE

Opening reception:
Downtown Los Angeles

West of Rome Public Art is pleased to announce our forthcoming project Trespass Parade with musician Arto Lindsay and artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. Social awareness is alive in the streets of downtown Los Angeles in the form of a parade. Join us for an afternoon of art, music, dance, free speech, and community activism. Major Los Angeles based contemporary artists and local students are expressing their social and political concerns in the form of a celebration.
 
In this moment of world turmoil and epochal changes Trespass will convey and reiterate, in a creative way, the importance of free speech as the most powerful and effective vehicle for implementing change. Using music, marching, t-shirts printed with political slogans, free speech in this case will be the voices of the most influential contemporary artists, the youth of our time, and the public that will gather with West of Rome on October 2, 2011.
