	DICK AVERNS THE 90KM/H ECONOMY DRIVE Artist Talk Presented by Mountain Standard Time Performative Art Festival 6 October 21 at SAAG | 4 PM Join us on Sunday, October 21 at 4 PM for an artist talk with Dick Averns. The 90kmh Economy Drive aims to create a more sustainable community among motorvehicle users. It proposes a mass performance art project that deploys an art 'multiple' - a green maple leaf decal affixed to the rear of one's motor vehicle - to demonstrate a commitment to reduced highway driving speed and with it, reduced fuel consumption and pollution. In collaboration with his exhibition at the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts Ledge Gallery (Calgary), Averns will lead a caravan down the highway to Lethbridge at a fuel efficient 90 kmh.
