Trade is Sublime is a multidisciplinary video piece bringing together Theater Artists, Film Makers, Anthropologists, Choreographers and Composers to explore the concept of trade as a transcendent human endeavor. “The installation was developed in collaboration with anthropologists George E. Marcus and Jae Chung and is closely tied to ethnographic research they have been conducting at the WTO-OMC since 2008. More broadly, the piece is part of an ongoing effort to use art as a medium of social science research.”
