Art’s 1,000,047th Birthday
January 17, 2010
Art’s Birthday is an annual event first proposed by French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou. On January 17, 1963, Filliou celebrated the 1,000,000th Birthday of Art, which he determined was born when a sponge was dropped into a bucket of water. On January 17th, Parlour and Town Hall will be celebrating Art’s 1,000,047th Birthday, and we invite you to bring or send a gift for Art. Your gift can be anything and will be on display/ presented/ performed/ etc., documented and enjoyed by all. This event will also feature birthday cake, refreshments, games, and live feeds to other birthday parties for Art around the world. Please join our Facebook page for “Art’s Birthday” and feel free to post any thoughts, ideas, photos, etc.
