THIS ALREADY HAPPENED BUT SEEMED SO APPLICABLE I'M INCLUDING IT HERE....JULY 20, 2014
Join Harpo and Groucho for a peripatetic adventure traversing the urban landscape. Inspired by the Situationist practice of derivé, participants will meet for coffee and instructions at the Henry before embarking on their own, unplanned & unmediated journey through Seattle ending in a Happy Hour recap at a secret location. The Drunken Boot is part of an ongoing project, the Shape of the Vessel and What it Holds, an exploration of psycho-geography, fellowship and walking as making. Harpo and Groucho (H + G, aka Sara Edwards and NKO) are Seattle-based conceptual artists searching for freedom and transcendence in an American landscape ravaged by late-Capitalism. Through physical meditations – walking, cycling, singing, drunkenness and the cooking and sharing food among them – H+G are asking questions of the real America and it’s people. Traversing topography, defying the simulacra, rejecting authority, giving gifts, dreaming, moving always upward – H+G insist we are what we share, not what we own.
