29.Jul.2010 Plant Vacation

Via Schinders. I should get a plant just so I can give it a vacation. Machine Project, “a non-profit community space in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles investigating art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature, and food,” is hosting Plant Vacations at the Hammer Museum. As part of its investigation of the use of museum space (other projects include a ping pong table and elaborate performances for two), you can drop off a plant and pick it up a month later. Your plant will be taught history, given music lessons, and offered”psychic plant healing.”

It’s a lot like my childhood, only at a museum instead of at some lady’s house and with history, music, and psychic healing instead of weird food, spankings, and invasive touching.
