Occupy Art Is Going to Figment NYC

Is there another Occupy Art Show coming up you may ask? Well at least I may ask is there another Occupy Art Show coming up. And so this time Occupy Art is going to Figment NYC in a week or so. And I know Occupy Art Show is going to FIGMENT NYC in a week or so because I was happy to hear when they sent me that your project has been accepted to Figment Project NYC email. And FIGMENT is a free participatory art event that is 100% volunteer-powered. Figment NYC takes place on June 7-8, with minigolf course, treehouse, pavilion, and summer-long sculpture programs on Governors Island all summer long! And so now Occupy Art is going to Figment NYC. And that Occupy Art Show @ FIGMENT NYC Facebook event invite that I created reads something like as follows: 

Hi everyone,

FIGMENT NYC is happening again this year. Please come to my Occupy Art Show if you are there.

The Occupy Art Show invites you to create your own Occupy Art posters from posters and Occupy Art materials and supplies that will be provided. Occupy Art participants are encouraged to talk about the Occupy artwork they have created through the Occupy Art open mic.

Occupy Art is inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests to discuss, expand scope, perspective and inspiration towards an ongoing series of future culture jams and events around this theme and time

You can locate Occupy Art Show at FIGMENT NYC in Nolan Park, 046 map code or use the official FIGMENT iPhone or Android app to find a spot when you arrive. The FIGMENT phone app and website will have up-to-the-minute data and details on project locations and schedules. You should download the app before you leave for Governor's Island as cell phone coverage can be spotty on the island-- just search for FIGMENT on your phone's app store.
Check FIGMENT's website for updated location information.

And in all blogger honesty, Occupy Art is still trying to make its way to that Occupy Art Is @ Left Forum event that can be seen in that post below this one that it tried to drum up, or at least that I tried to drum up. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 987 and Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. Looking forward to FIGMENT NYC Weekend 2014. Occupy Art. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.

Occupy Art Is @ Left Forum

Okay so it's actually Occupy Art will be at Left Forum in a couple of weeks from now as I find myself blogging this blog post and staring at this Left Form 2013 Mobilizing for the Ecological, nomic Transformation at Pace University, June 7-9 program booklet from last years Left Forum Conference. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 976. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, well sort of. And it seems as if I find myself posting on this blog whenever I can get one of those Occupy Art Shows to show up somewhere in that New York City area.  And so this time Occupy Art happens to be at an Occupy Art at a Left Forum Conference Panel May 30th - June 1st, 2014 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice with Carla Cubit - Occupy Art, Paul DeRienzo - Let Them Talk and Chris Flash - The Shadow. And that description of that event that finds itself posted in that flyer above and on that Facebook event invite reads something like as follows:


Hi Facebookers,

I will be presenting an Occupy Art Show panel with Paul DeRienzo of Let Them Talk and Chris Flash of The Shadow at Left Forum Conference at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Sunday June 1st, 3:40pm - 5:40pm for anyone who can make it by. There will be an Occupy Art open mic for all who wish to speak or perform. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.

Discussions of Occupy Art Shows that have taken place in and around New York City. Occupy Art is inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests. Occupy Wall Street artists and documenting artists mingle with other downtown voices and vibes to expand scope, perspective and inspiration towards an ongoing series of future culture jams around this theme and time and continue the discussion in a variety of media: painting, digital art, film, video and performances mediums at Occupy Art events. There will be a slide show presentation of Occupy artwork as well as Lower East Side, NYC Lower East Side Squat History

And those featured speakers at this event, well they seem pretty big I guess.  And that Left Forum description on its website describes itself as:
  
Left Forum is the culmination of the creative efforts of thousands of participants, panel and workshop organizers, and hundreds of volunteers who engage the gamut of conference organizing activities, from helping generate artistic events and panels, to outreach and involvement of a rainbow of organizations and individuals. The 2013 gathering involved 4,000 participants, more than 1,200 speakers and hundreds of panels, workshops, and events.  Left Forum conferences have included talks by Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy, Naomi Klein, Michael Moore, Cornel West, Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera, Amy Goodman, Slavoj Zizek, Grace Lee Boggs, RoseAnn DeMoro, Cornel West, Chris Hedges, Marina Sitrin, M1, Nnimmo Bassey, Oliver Stone, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson.  

Looking forward to seeing you there. Occupy Art. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.
