Follow-up from meeting

So begins the "Performing Economies" blog. I am posting Liz Glynn's questions that we did not get to speak about last night. Maybe folks have responses or thoughts to add.

- Does the show itself investigate "new economies" through its actual structure? Is it about new economies, or enacting new economies? While certainly there have been successful projects which try to enact new structures, I do think it's also worth considering to allow individual projects to speak on their own terms. We might also want to think about whether the show a whole is self-reflexive, and how that might or might not be useful.

- We've just been through many years of participatory / performance / exchange type projects, and I imagine these will continue to evolve. We're also at a point where many of, understandable, are making work in response to the economic crisis. What is the relationship between these two themes, and how might this show create a discursive venue to move these ideas forward, rather than just capitalize on their present currency?

- I can imagine some projects addressing the exchange or material values of art, and others focusing more on the "economy" - would it be useful to focus on one or the other, one about the other, or do people have strong ideas about this?
