Scrolling Texts, Texting Scrolls

The artist will have a mobile “work-station†fashioned out of a cigarette girl's tray with translucent vellum, ink pens and red thread. At various moments throughout the festival, the public will be invited to participate, as the artist moves along different points on 14th Street.
