Take a Plant, Leave a Plant at the Anarchist Book Fair.
By scavenging materials such as reused bottles and jars and plant cuttings, I will create a plant-based gift economy. A small army of plants will be amassed for distribution.
These plants will be offered up to the public during the Anarchist Book Fair on April 11th and 12th at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan. (55 Washington Square South, New York, NY)
Audience participation is greatly encouraged, so that we can create a self-sustaining gift economy.
During the event, the community is invited to contribute plants; all sorts of plants, including seeds, seed bombs, babies (like spider plant babies), cuttings, potted plants, sprouts and seedlings. Ideally there would be a note explaining what kind of plant they are, and maybe some care instructions. However, any contribution is welcome.
I also seek donations of containers, which will hold water and donated plant cutting. I seek plastic and glass bottles and jars.
(I will post the times of the event as soon as they are confirmed with the event planning staff)

Contribute to the Growth Economy
I will be collecting materials for an upcoming series of installations. Materials can be dropped in Pratt Studios Basement, studio number 12. Pratt Studios is located at Pratt Institute, 200 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11205.

I am currently making a habit of clipping pieces of ivy from Pratt campus and various places around the neighborhood. These plants are everywhere and they grow fast. Also, these vines die when they extend beyond the soil, so if you clip off the tips that are going to die anyway, you are saving plant-life that would normally go to waste.
I also seek donations of containers, which will hold water and donated plant cuttings. I seek plastic and glass bottles and jars.
More collection locations will be announced as they are secured. Please let me know if you know of a potential location or wish to donate space for a collection center. We can talk regarding pick-up times, etc.
