Following Piece
Vito Acconci
1969
STREET WORKS IV, SPONSORED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL LEAGUE OF NEW YORK
OCTOBER 3-25, 1969
NEW YORK CITY, VARIOUS LOCATIONS
23 DAYS, VARYING TIMES EACH DAY
NOTES:
Each day I pick out, at random, a person walking in the street.
I follow a different person everyday; I keep following until that person enters a private place (home, office, etc.) where I can’t get in.
Wednesday June 14 – 6:30pm, Herbert Von King Park
Meet at Northwest corner of Tompkins Avenue & Greene Avenue, Brooklyn.
Look for the docent/guide wearing the hot pink scarf.
