You are invited to The Little Dig!
The first in a series of projects that take the actions of gardening as strategic points of departure in order to develop a new vocabulary of urban intervention.
The Little Dig will create a temporary non-monetary economy based on dirt, in the shadow of both the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and The Big Dig. During the week of
May 11-16, a section of the former site of The Big Dig will become a public soil lab and work area. Processes of acquiring, testing, amending, and redistributing excavated soil will open up questions about waste, resources, and the creation of value. See a map of the site
here.
The Little Dig will be accompanied by a reading room at the Boston Centre for the Arts’ Mills Gallery, as a part of the MIT Visual Arts Program exhibition And Things of That Nature. The reading room will consist of 50 volumes and an annotated bibliography that extend and are extended by the performance of The Little Dig.
See you there!

Svalbard Global Seed Vault
I will be presenting a project, The Economy of Seeds, as part of InCUBATE’s contribition to the Democracy In America Convergence Center at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, Organized by Creative Time. InCUBATE will be presenting an adapted version of its Sunday Soup Granting Project in a temporary cafe built by the Chicago artists’ group Material Exchange. I will be one of a dozen guest chefs to cook up a pot of soup and present a mini project during the week-long show at the Armory. If you’re in New York, come on by! I’ll be presenting between noon and 3pm on Sunday, September 21, and friends Adam Bobbette of Forays (Sunday evening) and Andi Sutton of the National Bitter Melon Council (Monday evening) will also be participating!
