Synopsis
On the morning of Sunday, June 23, 2002, 100 participants gathered at The Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan, along with a 12-person Peruvian brass band, and a horse, dogs, and numerous palanquins, atop which sat replicas of three masterpieces from the museum's collection -- Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Duchamp's ready-made Bicycle Wheel, and a Giacometti--and a living representative of contemporary art, Kiki Smith. Three hours later they ended their procession at the museum's new temporary home, in Queens. Along the way, which ran from 11 West 53 Street, over the Queensboro Bridge, and up Queens Boulevard, the procession absorbed a hundred additional participants, and enacted a very public spectacle--part Saint's Day procession and part secular celebration -- of the Museum's historic move.
