Let’s Trade

What if all of the rappers in the U.S. suddenly migrated to Sweden in trade for the welfare state? This impossible scenario, illustrated in Let's Trade by David Stein, is one of seven proposals involved in the four-month-long project at the Rooseum culminating on June 10. Starting in February 2005, the project Dumb Economy, Funny Democracy, Impossible Projects was initiated as an experiment in economic democracy, in which buying one of the seven posters was the same as casting a vote. This election resolves in a final project by Stein who, taking his imaginary exchange seriously, has outlined a step-by-step plan for making it a reality. His installation will include a live presentation, letters ready to mail to US Rappers, and visual diagrams.
