Performers Carry Oil Drums
Slow Paced they approach the artists entrance
They empty their black cargo onto the Portland floor
The floor is slowly consumed by the Oil like mess
Feather are added and take to the air
Oil Spews across the entrance
Spent Barrells scatter the floor
The Performers leave gracefully
The Entrance is closed off
The Spill
http://www.youandifilms.com/2010/06/license-to-spill/ Dressed in black and veiled the performers carrying black buckets with BP logos spewed molasses over the entrance way as onlookers watched in amazement as the Portland stone floor was consumed by the black oil like mess.
Feathers were scattered and filled the air and in the same manner of approach the artists gracefully paced their escape.
Licence to Spill
“Apart from catastrophic spills like the Deepwater Horizon, there are a whole host of adverse impacts that are associated with the production of oil. On the local level, it often involves extreme forms of pollution for local communities, while regionally oil is frequently associated with greater militarization and conflict. Globally, carbon emissions, oil companies, and our collective dependence on the product they push, are taking us ever closer to the edge of climate catastrophe. ”
