Moving the Weeds Around

Relational intervention / performance
Halifax, 2005

Description

In response to an invitation to create a community art intervention, I attempted to create a collaborative feat that accomplished as little as possible. More than 20 volunteers including myself, dug up weeds from neighbourhoods across Halifax. We traded and mixed up the weeds, and then re-planted them randomly all over the city.

The intervention was enacted in various locations for an entire day across the city of Halifax in 2005.
