La Papa Móvil
A performance formatted in the manner of religious processions, political campaigns and street vending. This piece traveled to three densely-populated neighborhoods in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where I distributed coupons for 5 pounds of potatoes redeemable at the city’s Museum of Modern Art. This piece was later brought to New York as part of The S-Files at El Museo del Barrio.
La Papa Móvil was first commissioned and produced by Alanna Lockward and Art Labour Archives for Lockward’s exhibition Días hábiles, tácticas celulares para la nueva economía política del sentido, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, 2001.
Presented as part Dias hábiles, tácticas celulares para la nueva economía política del sentido, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, 2001; and for El Museo’s Biennial: The S-Files, New York, NY, 2003.
