Run the Royal Ontario Museum - Public Art On The Run

The Movement Movement performs a usual activity, running, in an unlikely place: a museum. On May 12 2007, The Movement Movement ran the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto Canada with 250 members of the public. This is footage from the upcoming film 'Run The ROM' directed by Nick de Pencier.

Run the ROM (The Movement Movement, Social Sculpture, 2007): A choreographed crowd formed
by hundreds of runners moves through a museum's galleries alongside its artifacts. This moving
sculpture is made up of: an art class from a high school outside of the city's centre, a group
of athletes from the running community, artists, and art administrators, museum patrons, The
Movement Movement's mailing list, and members of the public who showed up with running
shoes on. Temporarily, people and place come together in an unexpected way to run an institution.

A collaboration between artist-curator Jessica Rose and dancer-choreographer Jenn Goodwin,
The Movement Movement formed in May 2006. The Movement Movement is an on-running public art project that mobilizes participation in a social movement: to run the world's art
institutions, one kilometer at a time. This large scale activity invites the public to actively participate in a choreographed movement through public space to 'Run with Art'.

From running performances to public art on the run, The Movement Movement makes art made by running. The Movement Movement runs with Toronto-based sound artist Lewis Kaye, photographer Dean Baldwin, Genie Award winning filmmaker Nick de Pencier and other artists.
We choreograph performances, score happenings, orchestrate social sculpture, and run participatory
exhibitions. By running around we make video, film, sound art, photography, sculpture, painting, land art, installation, performance, web-based projects, and dance.
