Purple Wedding to the Moon performance by Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens is on. The Purple wedding team has won the right to continue with their plans. Today they have announced that the LA Parks and Rec Department has withdrawn its cancellation of Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens wedding performance in LA, USA.
On Friday Oct 8th, well known performance artist Annie Sprinkle received a call from LA County Parks & Recreation Deputy Director, Kathleen Ritner, informing her that her rental contract for her wedding at the Farnsworth Amphitheatre in Altadena had been canceled due to “unsafe conditions” created by the public announcement of the wedding inviting people to witness their “eco-sexual” wedding.
Annie M. Sprinkle and Elizabeth M. Stephens say: ‘We have committed our lives to engaging environmental issues by changing the metaphor of Earth as mother, to Earth as LOVER, and to making environmentalism more sexy and fun through ART.’ And they invite you to be one of their collaborators or patrons of their wedding art performance on October 23, 2010.
