On Sunday, February 21, 2010, Redirecting Traffic was performed on Hastings, between Heatley and Hawks. During a space of 10 minutes, I redirected a handful of buses, an Olympiad Van, an Ambulance (no sirens), and heavy traffic, until undercover cops came.
All this was performed with the help of 4 Pylons I made myself, crocheted out of Flagging Tape, and a Flaggers Uniform I bought at Army and Navy.
Redirecting Traffic, 2010 is an Artist Project by Heidi Nagtegaal. She is a member of White Pillows collective, which operates out of VIVO Media Arts Centre, during the Olympics, as a part of Safe Assembly. White Pillows Collective is a group of 10 performance artists making critical work in response to lived experience. Redirecting Traffic was a part of their Olympic Programming.
Balcone sponsored Redirecing Traffic for their Olympic 2010 Programming. Balcone is a Vancouver-based organization that supports artists with their projects, and promotes their work.
