Feed the Monster: Part One

This interactive installation took place in the Dirt Palace window front in Providence, RI. The public fed the monster by placing items in the mouth that sat outside the window. Linsey Wallace wove these items into the monster, which hung inside the window. Joan sewed the background imagery. All the materials used in this project were recycled. The project took place during December 2006, culminating in a performance by the two artists.

Progressive Runway Project 2006!

Plans change. This year's Progressive Runway Project was detourned by rain and kickball. The lettrist's aspect of the event was dropped, but no enthusiam was lost. The fashions were shown off in a tournement between the New Urbanists and the Psychogeographers. Kickball Jesus has asked for the fashion project to return for the 2007 Provflux Kickball game. Enjoy the photos!

The Progressive Runway Project has been an exciting trash-fashion event in Providence the past two years. In May 2004 the project marched through the arched corridors of the Providence Place Mall in clothing made from recycled materials. Last year the project engaged the city streets on wheels with trash-fashion made for biking.

The Lettrist movement began in 1942 by a group of artists who wrote poems about their contemporary culture on their clothes. Lettrism now appears all over the fashion world through various brand name slogans. The Progressive Runway Project III will focus on bringing Lettrism back into the hands of the individual.

Participatory runway shows will occur @ 4 Providence hotspots on June 3rd, 2006. The goal of this year’s Progressive Runway Project III is to create a dialogue of our eclectic Providence community.

Participate:
-create and/or wear recycled and lettrist clothing
-document any part of the project with photography, film, sound, or writing
-donate old t-shirts and supplies for writing on fabric
-spread the word
