“Was it a protest? A love-in? A graduation procession? Or maybe—heaven forbid—a Shriner’s convention? Those were some of the questions blasé Upper East Siders asked last evening as they watched some 130 people march up East 65th Street toward Park Avenue, turn north on Park and wind around the block. What caught their attention was the marchers’ garb. They were joined together in a mile-long communal garment of red acetate, heads poking through holes cut at three-foot intervals….The divertissement was intended to celebrate the opening of ‘Mr. Byars and Six Plays,’ a series of audience participation events dealing with communications and behavior that will run…at the Architectural League…where the procession originated.” The New York Times, September 13, 1968
