Occupy Art Went To Figment NYC

And if I must blogger say, FIGMENT NYC was awesome. And that ferry boat ride that one takes across the water to get to Governors Island and all of its art, art and more art, well that was even more awesome to see New York City and all of its harbor views. And those one hundred and more art projects and art installations, performances and more that found themselves on Governors Island on this Figment NYC day, well they were even more awesome. And so this Figment event seems as if it wants photos, photos and more photos and colors, colors and more colors to be added to this post. And so Occupy Art Show was at Figment on this day and some of those photos from this Occupy Art Show find themselves posted above. And even more photos from that Occupy Art Show and FIGMENT NYC on this day find themselves posted in my Occupy Art Show @ Figment NYC Facebook event invite. And the Occupy Wall Street People's Puppets were there on this day also. And if I would have known that, I would have Occupy Wall Street People's Puppets went over there to see their show also. And so Figment NYC has come to an end this past weekend. And with that, that Occupy Art Show @ Figment NYC has came to an end as well. And so Figment is off to San Diego, Boston, Toronto, Washington D.C. and even more cities as well in all its Figmentness. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 997. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, well sort of. Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Art Worldwide.

Occupy Art Was @ Left Forum

Well that Occupy Art Panel at Left Forum at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in that city of New York that I blogged about a week or so ago happened yesterday. And according to Left Forum, this was their best conference to date. And from what I saw during my time there, despite a panel speaker being missing in action who did not make it to that Occupy Art panel on this day, it was Paul DeRienzo of Let Them Talk who saved the day with his squatter history slide show for the few people who were in attendance. And that slide show was all things squatting and art. And if it wasn't for Paul and his slide show, that "There will be a slide show presentation of Occupy artwork as well as Lower East Side, NYC Lower East Side Squat History zines" part of Occupy Art's panel description would have just been false advertising and may not have happened. And so how did the rest of that Left Forum conference go on the last day of their three day conference one may ask, maybe? Well those photos above speak for themselves and a picture can tell a story, or something like that. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 990. Have a great Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Art day and more.

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.

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.

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:

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.
