MC97a
A performance, and installation in support of the houseless community of San Francisco.
In
the context of a referendum for a planned 49er stadium, the police
confiscated numerous vehicles making many dispossessed homeless. Police
enforced the Municipal Police Code "MC 97a" for these actions in order
to proof to San Franciscans that the plans for the new stadium will not
be stopped by the community of houseless people living in the area
where the stadium was supposed to be build. In the Municipal Police
Code "MC 97a" it says that one is not allowed to sleep, rest, eat, or
drink in one's car in the hours from 10pm to 6am on any public street
in San Francisco.
On the other side, it says: "If you would be houseless YOU would be home now". These cards were placed under windshield wipers of cars by homeless people and supporters. The cards were distributed in local Video stores, groceries and post offices and appeared in many neighborhoods all over San Francisco. The "Streetsheet" volunteered to take the card as supplement for their paper. San Francisco's ATA gallerybecame a distribution center for the cards.
