I’m not entirely sure what to make of this (which, I suspect, is the point), but starting today at noon Occidental Park will play host to a twenty-four hour reading of A Wild Sheep Chase [$].

As part of a summer of site-specific performances inspired by the work of Haruki Murakami in the park (chosen because of its “combination of old architecture, mature trees, new and old businesses, alleyways, and varieties of people” as “a perfect site to explore his themes of the magical and the mundane, outsider and insider, the spontaneous and the routine, the ephemeral and absurd” [op]), this endurance event features D.K. Pan, NKO, Holly Brown, and an accompanying Elephant Ear vendor.

They’ll be reading the text aloud, transcribing it onto the exterior of a box truck, and typing the text on an “endless” roll of paper. Now all they need is someone to liveblogtweet it. // $free, but for the mind-boggling. 12-12. [occidentalpark]
