David Stein: "Let's Trade"
Extended until 17 July
Critical Studies Test Site
What if all of the rappers in the U.S. suddenly migrated to Sweden in trade for the welfare state? This impossible scenario, illustrated in Let’s Trade by David Stein, is one of seven proposals involved in a four-month-long project at the Rooseum culminating on June 10. Starting in February 2005, the project Dumb Economy, Funny Democracy, Impossible Projects was initiated as an experiment in economic democracy, in which buying one of the seven posters was the same as casting a vote. This election resolves in a final project on Friday the 10th by Stein who, taking his imaginary exchange seriously, will outline a step-by-step plan for making it a reality. His installation will include a video presentation, letters ready to mail to local government, and visual diagrams. The reception will be held in the Rooseum’s Test Site from 7 – 10 pm.
