Free wishes is coming back home!

Last spring, Jamie Hobbs and I set off to San Francisco to create a community based art project called 'Free Wishes'. It's been a while, but the memories are still fresh. Jamie and I will soon be bringing the project home, at the upcoming Market Collective (Kensington, Calgary), on March 17/18, 2012. Come check out what we will be doing with the space, and cast your wishes for the world to see!

Original project:

“Free Wishes” was a site specific performance I created with Jamie Hobbs in early 2011. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the world’s largest tourist attractions. An unfortunate fact is that more people die of suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge than any other location in the world. Jamie and I sought to temporarily change the bridge from a site of tourism and suicide, into a place of wishing by asking participants to freely share these concepts with one another.
