The Chicago Route will explore the local roots of climate change.
Few Chicagoan's realize that the single biggest sources of pollution
in Chicago are the two coal-fired electric generating plants owned by
Midwest Generation in Pilsen and Little Village.

The Fisk and Crawford plants spew more than 17,000 tons of deadly
toxins into the air annually and take a huge health toll on residents of the
Chicagoland area.

A Harvard School of Public Health study found that air pollution from
the two coal-fired plants causes more than 40 deaths, 550 emergency room
visits, and 2,800 asthma attacks annually.

there will be an array of costumes, floats, props and if you need help
getting your's ready we will have a costume shop and prop building
going on TODAY!!!!

WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE?

No, really, where is your outrage right now? Can you locate it on a
map – in your body – in the world outside?

Feelings might happen in our bodies, but they aren't only private or
individual events. They take shape in physical locations: they're
connected to memories of events, movement from place to place, and
views of changing landscapes, urban or otherwise. They take place in
social spaces: they happen in groups and in interactions and
relationships among people and between people and things. Feelings are
produced and productive. They move around, circulate, get
communicated. They can be contagious; they can be vehicles for a
connection; they can be obstacles to a connection.

How do you carry your political feelings, and how do you want others
to carry theirs? In Pathogeographies, Feel Tank Chicago and its
collaborators map the affective expressions of various publics to
reveal hidden histories and create new ones.

Feel Tank Chicago says: Depressed? Anxious? Enraged? IT MIGHT BE POLITICAL!

Nicolas Lampert Lecture

Building a Continental Empire in the late 1800s:
Picturing Expansionism from East to West

This talk will examine how the visual media of the late 1800s/early
1900s in the U.S. (photographs,
paintings and prints) was used to justify and promote western
expansion and the forced removal of Native Americans from their
homelands onto reservations. The presentation will look at the work
and the motives of European-American photographers who mapped the West
for corporate and State interests and how photographers such as Edward
S. Curtis pictured Native Americans as a culture and people who were
"disappearing" into the past. The talk will highlight the work of
Native American photographers who countered this bias and used
photography as a tool to address community issues and to create a more
accurate representation of their culture during this era.

THE CONTINUING STORY OF CAREL AND FERD (TRT: 58 MIN.)

Ferd Eggan in person!

The Continuing Story of Carel and Ferd, Arthur Ginsberg with Video
Free America, 58 min., 1970-75

A fascinating hybrid of performance and video verité, The Continuing
Story of Carel and Ferd introduces Carel and Ferd, a couple who
allowed Ginsberg to produce an ongoing documentary record of the
intimate moments of their relationship. Carel, a porn actress, and
Ferd, a bisexual drug addict, invite the camera to participate in
their wedding, their sex life, and their break-up. Produced before the
landmark PBS documentary An American Family introduced television
audiences to the live-in camera, this document raises questions about
the dynamic of subject and camera, privacy and manipulation.
Originally presented as an installation, this one-hour version, which
includes interviews with Carel, Ferd and Ginsberg, was distilled form
thirty hours of footage recorded from 1970 to 1975. Produced by the TV
Lab at WNET/Thirteen, VTR series. - Electronic Arts Intermix

BIO: Ferd Eggan is an ageing gay white man in Los Angeles who makes
videos and texts for the internet: "Communiqués from a cranky PWA"
<http://crankypwa.blogspot.com>, a serial joke about AIDS, liver
cancer and death, and "Revolution is an eternal dream"

transforming the world.

Research feeds into Google image searches that will in turn serve as a
resource for drawings.

1:15-1:45 travis, WEEDS (performance). Every time I see you naked I
offer my death bed but you won't take it. Strange, my flower bed
cannot hold you. In my prime I tried to burn away my winter weeds but

2-3 BLW workshop: "A Meeting is a Question" Between June 30th and July
7th, BLW invites co-participants to five open meetings to be conducted
in public. Meeting at unremarkable sites around Chicago, we will look
for traces of power and listen to expert testimony that considers:
what are the landscapes of war?  BLW provides agendas, notepads,
refreshments and site-seeing apparatus.  Schedule and locations will
be posted on the Pathogeographies website and at Gallery 400.

3:15-3:45 "Habit Swap" with Meredith Haggerty & Public Movement Troop.
Participants should bring habits or movements from structured events
such as work or rush hour and will recreate them in a new space. The
goal is simply to reroute these activities as both internal and
external events.
