Rolling on the Lawn at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)
Performance / intervention and photographs
Montreal, 1999-2000
Description
I was living near the Canadian Centre for Architecture and walked by it every day. I was trying to think of new ways to engage myself with the city, and coming home from work one afternoon, I decided to roll across the entire length of the famous green lawn – instead of just walking by. The lawn struck me as a provocative space, between the museum and the sidewalk. I repeated the action in every season for the following year.
The work was enacted without permission on the lawn of the CCA from 1999-2000 in Montreal.
