Public Performance Art Intervention Series

About:

TRACE-ABLE is a long term project initiated by artist Hector Canonge. In collaboration with invited artists, Lawrence Graham-Brown and John Cichon, the monthly public performance art interventions (April through June, 2011) took place at Manuel de Dios Unanue Triangle Park in Jackson Heights, Queens. The project consisted of covering the park’s side walks with a large canvas where the artists performed choreographed tasks, engaged the public, and walked barefoot on the canvas leaving footprints to raise awareness about present issues affecting New York City.
