Ethan Crenson: Trojan Purse

Ethan Crenson will present “Trojan Purse,” a moveable sculpture, in Prospect Park during the first ever Art Slope Arts Festival!

“Trojan Purse” is a twelve foot tall wooden purse on wheels which can be rolled to various locations around the park over the course of the event. The purse will stand alone as an impressively-scaled sculpture and it will be moved around as conspicuous political theater performance.

The “Trojan Purse” has existed in three previous iterations. The first, in 2004, was built for an exhibition at Voorkamer Gallery in Lier, Belgium. The second, in 2005, was paraded through the streets of the East Village as a part of the Howl Festival for an exhibition organized by Art in Odd Places. The third, in 2007, was constructed for the exhibition Manipulations at Texas Tech University.

We are seeking volunteers for this event. Sign up here!
