Ecological City Art & Climate Solutions Pop-Up Pageant

  • Lower East Side Ecology Center East River Promenade New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

Jody Sperling performs an iteration of “Plastic Harvest” in Earth Celebration’s Ecological City pageant at Seal Park, near the Fire Boat House/Lower East Side Ecology Center. The pageant is a colorful procession through 21 sites on the Lower East Side. Jody’s performance at Site 20 will begin at approximately 4:15pm. In this solo investigating plastic pollution, Sperling is radically transformed by costuming fashioned from hundreds of plastic bags. She appears as a plastic monster frolicking in the doomed park setting. Collected over months from family, friends, and neighbors, these plastic bags serve as a visual and kinetic archeology of our current moment. For the pageant’s closing ceremony, Sperling will also perform excerpts of “Elegy” with composer/cellist N. Scott Johnson.
