Session 2 2008: June 16-July 3, 2008

As new forms of global capital evolve and new forms of subjectivity emerge we propose to critically explore and experiment with these new spaces of cultural production. This session will involve the research and development of a new experimental retail system. This retail development will be focused on The Mildred’s Lane Historical Society and Museum Store —- branding, product development and critical interventions into spaces of product placement and advertising. There will be visiting lectures by conceptual artists, economists, philosophers, retailers, sociologists and others. Also as part of the research phase of this project there will be various field trips in addition to the weekly events, dinners, presentations. [This is a seed project and think tank for a new retail environment and collaboration, NYC 2010, to be announced.]
