Saint Stupid's Day Parade, 1985 - 1995
File — Box: 3
Comments from Mary Dery
Various articles about the parade, whose carnivalesque (in the Mikhail Bakhtin sense) spirit and use of the archetype of the holy fool/mad clown to subversive, socially satirical ends makes it a subcategory of culture jamming, and its organizer, Ed Holmes.
File also includes Saint Stupid buttons produced by the parade’s organizers; a vinyl single (“St. Stupid Wrap” [sic] b/w “Stupid Marches On”;
posters/flyers for the parade.
