My Artica Festival project for 2008 is a Collaborative one, I am
presenting "Wish Tree", a performance developed by Yoko Ono, and
presented in locations worldwide since 2007. "Wish tree for St. Louis",
this work, will collect the wishes for peace of all who participate,
and fill a tree with the wishes. the piece will be performed this
saturday and sunday, October 11th & 12th, from noon till 4 p.m., under
the trees directly across from the arch, near the main stage on Lenore
K. Sullivan Boulevard. Following the weekends performance, the wishes
will be collected from the trees, catalogued, and sent to Yoko Ono, to
be buried in a capsule at the foot of the Imagine Peace tower in
Rekjavic, Iceland. This piece will be performed at various locations
in St. Louis throughout the year. As a document of the event, a special
issue postcard designed by Yoko Ono, has been printed by
Fluxus/St.Louis, which will be signed, dated, and stamped by myself,
and given to everyone who contributes their wish. Please join me in
realizing this work.
peace, Keith
