"Flying Paper Airplanes" o "As a Mall I Really Likes MOMA"

"Without invitation" Two hundred paper airplanes flew from the balconies over the atrium at the MoMA on March 24 2006 at 6 pm.

A poetic protest against the Museum as the Modern Mall of Art. A critique of the New MoMA and its exhibitions program, specifically an examination of the show: "On Site, New Architecture in Spain". A way to distribute words: Flyers. The text of the flyers addresses issues about Modern Malls of Art,
occupation and architecture. An appropriation of the public space of the museum and its audience that subverts the politics of art and its mechanisms while getting the benefit from the museum existence and the multitude of visitors. This site specific and participatory art situation frames a space for utopia and tries to separate art and architecture from its corporate reality.
