Ted Purves & Susanne Cockrell: Temescal Amity Works

Essay	Project Description	Susanne Cockrell
Ted Purves	Add Project to My Artbox

Temescal Amity Works is a social sculpture project. Sited in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, the project facilitates and documents the exchange of backyard produce, conversation and collective biography. Purves and Cockrell are building a pushcart on which they will collect and sell fruit from the citrus trees in community back yards. The cart will also serve as a vehicle for the artists and neighborhood residents to gather stories, history, and other information about itself, which will be published and circulated as a series of free postcards. The artists are focusing on the Temescal neighborhood because it was originally an “orchard suburb” in the 1920's.
