A boat made of flotsam floated out to sea? A stretch limo art bar! A Rant
Recorder, an experimental Green Wedding, an inflatable outdoor museum, art and
films on the streets! It must be the Intervene! Interrupt! Rethinking Art as
Social Practice festival hosted by UC Santa Cruz.
Breaking the boundaries of conventional arts practice, the interventions
festival takes art performance, websites, objects and events out of the gallery
and into other social and public spaces to explore politics and everyday life.
For the month of May 2008, artists will create work up and down the coast from
San Francisco to San Jose to Santa Cruz, convening at UC Santa Cruz for the
first West Coast interventions conference. With the Yes Men, Nato Thompson,
Suzanne Lacy, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and many more.
