\u201cWelcome 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a campaign for nothing, for no one. It\u2019s a campaign against the evils of campaigning,\u201d Falco told me<\/a> not long after it launched early this summer. \u201cThink of someone who\u2019s running for alderman and you\u2019ve never heard of and they\u2019ve got this empty retail space. \u2026 A space that they tried to put a little work into, but it also used to be something else. Just kind of weird. Janky.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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).”<\/p>\n
