Prospect is the second iteration of a series of engagements that explore the relationship of cause and effect inherent in the idea of exchange and the definition of value. An economy is built upon an exchange of value that occurs between parties.

For this piece and exhibition, a rocking, sled platform was constructed as a transportable territory for a table and two chairs. They were brought to Prospect Park, NY and were pulled along a path, and passers-by were asked for help. The question of the value of help and of work was posed to the participants, and exchanges were proposed, including currency created by the artist group Floating Lab Collective.
