Green Market Movers (2017)
St. Paul, Minnesota
Co-Lead Artist
It takes a lot of optimism to grow plants when the world’s fate is uncertain.
The Green Market Movers come from a future where nature is a commodity, and they are unloading seeds to help heal the earth. Using vegetation, video, interactive technologies, and performance, they recreate an idealized version of nature in the back of a box truck to satisfy the human desire for “green”. By calling the number listed, participants can connect with a “dealer” who provides them seeds to propagate the future condition they desire.
