Unlympics
Notice:
Attention Chicago:
A highly organized, internationally recognized, massively marketed, thoroughly branded, and extremely expensive series of sporting events is coming to your town. This is not it.
From Saturday January 24 to February 14 2009,
InCUBATE and person-in-residence Anne Elizabeth Moore will host a series of games called the
Unlympics. They will consist of real sports, fake sports, and things that aren't sports at all—plus serve as a meeting ground to discuss the implications of our city hosting the Olympic Games in 2016.Wanna get involved, present an event, plan tandem performances, or otherwise state your case for or against the Chicago 2016 bid? Sponsors, competitors, spectators, parade participants, protestors, media hoaxes, judges, actors, and Unlympics Organizing Committee members are being enlisted now. Respond to this email, come out to a planning meeting, look for us on Facebook, or join our mailing
list here.
The full schedule of the
Winter 2009 Unlympic Games is here
