Homeless Polar Bears

Back in July we told you about Mark Jenkins’ Golden Ass project where he tricked folks into thinking his gold horse sculpture was a human statue. Jenkins’ latest work was a collaboration with Green Peace. He put several “Homeless Polar Bears” in public places around Washington DC. Jenkins told Boing Boing: We made [...]

Instant Grant Program

Artist Steve Lambert sent us a new collaboration of his, The Federation of Students and Nominally or Unemployed Artists. The group spent an afternoon in Union Square Park in Manhattan giving away “instant grants” to anyone who pitched them a project. How it works: The FSNUA aims to re-inspire creative thinking and action in everyday [...]

Naming Your Local Group

A reminder, taken from the FAQ on ImprovEverywhere.com:

Our one request is that if you start your group you do not use “Improv Everywhere” in your name. Come up with your own name! (Ours isn’t that great in the first place, and we’d like to avoid any confusion.)

We are not sanctioning "official chapters", just providing a forum for you guys to organize and start doing your own thing. We envision this site as an awesome destination for people to see the results of local m… Continue

Mission Reports

The mission: to bust into the city's biggest and most crowded shopping mall while dressed up as ninjas and beat the crap out of each other with foam swords while playing the Mortal Kombat theme song at maximum volume from an iPod boombox. Dedicated to the awesome people at Improv Everywhere as well as all the folks on this site, who inspired this production.

Brainstorm

Sunday October 12th. 2008 @ 3pm. Union Square NYC South Steps. A large make out/kissing session. Everyone meets on steps. Fills the area,as it normally is quite crowded on weekends. At 3pm make out extravaganza for twenty minutes. Everyone goes about their business.

Brainstorm

Hmm.... you're right lol. What if we did some sort of thing at the Point with everyone synchronised, like if everyone started playing Simon Says or something lol. And the leader can do something unexpected like take out an umbrella, and (everyone else would have unbrellas that were previously hidden) everyone would take one out and twirl it/wave it whatever. I just think something synchronised would be funny.

Brainstorm

I have fished the 3 rivers alot and you couldn't pay me to get into that water.

Brainstorm

I like this idea!!! I could be the fat guy but Im not taking my shirt off. Maybe once the crowd develops we could have an agent hit pause using a remote, stopping the music and we all freeze for a minute. Once the music starts we all dance again.
