“Welcome to Boston Campaign Headquarters. U.S.A. Land of the free and 200 million other people,” it says on the door of Boston artist Pat Falco’s installation at Boston’s Faneuil Hall.
“It’s a campaign for nothing, for no one. It’s a campaign against the evils of campaigning,” Falco told me not long after it launched early this summer. “Think of someone who’s running for alderman and you’ve never heard of and they’ve got this empty retail space. … A space that they tried to put a little work into, but it also used to be something else. Just kind of weird. Janky.”
You can find it at the 4 South Market Building, just to the left of Urban Outfitters and the statue of Red Auerbach sitting on a bench and just to the right of the 1630 store on the end.
Falco plans a “Where Do We Go From Here?” closing party for the “Boston Campaign Headquarters” at 8 p.m. on election night, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016, “followed by a wandering protest/parade and then an election night viewing party with our friends at State Park (One Kendall Square, Cambridge).”
