Labor Day

Beginning and ending at Occidental College, students will dump and re-shovel one cubic yard of sand at various locations in a circular trajectory across the city. In a second activity, students will drive a car on a circular route around the Occidental Campus, stopping once per “lap” to remove and reinstall the car’s wheels. Occurring simultaneously, the activities will complement each other in their investigation of mental/physical boredom, failure, and fatigue through repetition. Transecting various industrial, touristic, ethnic, and class domains across the city, the progress of this Happening, Labor Day (1971), is measured by attrition and loss.
