UPDATE: PLEASE BEGIN BY PUTTING YOUR BELLS AWAY AND GO WINDOW SHOPPING INSIDE THE CLOSEST SHOPPING MALL TO SW 5TH AND MORRISSON! AT 3:30 PM, PLEASE RING YOUR BELL OFTEN AND HEAD FOR THE GROUND LEVEL EXIT AT SW 5TH AND MORRISSON. ONCE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, WE WILL BEGIN A VERY SLOW WALK, AS DESCRIBED BELOW, AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. I WILL HAVE A BLUE AND WHITE UMBRELLA. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
SLOW DOWN and RING the spirit back into the Holiday gift buying rush. Be a part of something beautiful. Become a reminder of the dichotomy between shopping ourselves into debt and the spiritual center of the holiday season.
Check out this clip from the film, Baraka (below). There will be an art performance/action (flash mob style) in solidarity with the Occupy Movement on Friday, December 23rd in an upscale shopping mall in Portland. It will be an extreme slow walk with bells inspired by this clip. I am looking for 99 individuals, dressed in plain clothes, able to walk very slowly for up to an hour. Some bells will be provided. Please bring a bell if you have one. Do not buy one! Let me know if you’re up for something like this or just show up:
Friday, December 23rd, at 3:30PM, we meet on the corner of SW 5th and SW Morrisson in downtown Portland. Bring bells. We will walk at about the same pace as shown in the clip, ringing the bells every three seconds. We walk in a line, like ants, following the person in front of us back a couple of paces. Any t-shirt messages are okay, as well as buttons/pins. If possible RSVP to Glee at (please request) . Feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in participating. The more the merrier!
Please take some time to view some or all of the sites below.
