Electric KIDS Performance Exchange

Submitted by huong on May 25, 2009 - 10:47am.

I just participated in a performance exchange with some really nice folks in Bulgaria. It is through the Electric KIDS performance exchange, and you can do one too. In fact, you SHOULD do one too. You do a performance based on instructions (which you sometimes translate from Bulgarian), post the documentation online, and then post your own set of instructions.

FEAST

These guys are totally great. We had so much fun presenting the network of secret gardens. We brought a big salad with mesculin, arugula, spinach, radishes, green onions, and rosemary, and a rhubarb pie, all from the garden! We gave out seedlings to a lot of first time gardeners, and garden network packets to seasoned growers who wanted to start their own networks. We also presented the very beginnings of our animation with Emmett McMullan as narrator! Totally a cause worth supporting.

Secret School 03: Grow with the K.I.D.S.

Submitted by huong on April 29, 2009 - 4:27pm.

Join Secret School and The K.I.D.S. (The Kindness and Imagination Development Society) for four seasons of growing, exchanging, storytelling, and snacking. Throughout the spring, we will exchange seeds, build prototypes for mobile greenhouses, and form a network of secret gardens. Over the summer, we will make books, tell stories, and invent recipes. We’ll celebrate our harvest over the fall, and hunker down together with hot cider and early growing tips over the winter. We will examine what it means to grow a network from the ground up.

Over the Opening

Secret School is pleased to collaborate with a team of economists led by Daniel J. Martin to create a functioning and participatory economy based on the gold standard. They will examine the global and political forces that drive the continued mining and hoarding of gold, and the ecological and humanitarian crises that result. Secret School and Martin will present a text that reframes, in a contemporary context, Adam Smith’s argument for the use of the gold as a medium of exchange.
