Art imitates Ferris Bueller

0808ferrisparade.jpgFile this one under: Fun! Artist Mina Karimi is looking to pull together "a large performance art piece that requires 6-8 hundred people recreating the parade scene from Ferris Bueller [video] at the Deitch Art Parade in Soho." She says she is "recruiting secret agents in the audience of the parade to mimic the extras in the movie as my Ferris float approaches. In order to fully reproduce the spirit of the scene I will need at least 100 agents on each block of the parade to get the Ferris joy-ball rolling." The event takes place on September 6th, so if you're down for parading, singing, dancing and/or listening to The Beatles, "Twist and Shout" multiple times--email projectbueller(a)gmail(dot)com.

    I think it's about time to start tightening up the standards of what gets to be called "art".

    Oy it was in Chicago! CHICAGO. I look down my stuffy NYC nose on Chicagoan antics. Stay NYC-centric, reproduce the Ghostbusters or something.

    Nice work eyekantspell, Jen was clearly copying and pasting from the message she received from the "artist".

    6-8 hundred



    nice work Jen.



    To be consistent, you should have written:



    "...I will need at least 1 hundred agents on each block..."

    You know an artwork is going to be good when a secret agent is involved.

  • Jen S

    Meh...anything is art nowadays.

  • matty

    Awesome!



    I hope they do it in Chicago too, as that's where the movie is based and filmed in.
