The Precarious Workers Pageant is a collaborative project involving
members of the: Workers Art Coalition, Aaron Burr Society, Occupy
Museums, G.U.L.F., and Social Practice Queens. It all starts inside
S.a.L.E.-Docks where we will perform a deconstruction of Frank
Gehry’s proposed Guggenheim Museum in Abu Dhabi. Once this grand
avant-garde monument is dismantled, we will carry its liberated shapes
in a cacophonous procession through nearby streets and over canals,
passing by the Peggy Guggenheim Museum to the Galleria dell'Accademia
plaza where our emancipated geometric forms will be reconstructed into
a public commons, setting the stage for a series of testimonials and
performances addressing the struggle for social justice amongst
migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates, as well as in Europe and
the USA before returning to S.a.L.E.-Docks for the book party.
S.a.L.E.-Docks is located on the South side of the Dorsaduro, Venice,
Italy.
