Tanda Foundation weights your wallet.

*stored in*: events, mexico, projects — Tags: , , — 10:03 pm

The Sopa Dominical event (Sunday Soup) in benefit of Tanda Foundation raised  800 pesos (around 60 dollars) for the Tanda Ca$h for January.

The donation for the soup were defined based on the weight of the wallet of the attendants by taking a zero out of the weight marked by the balance.  Visit the documentation page at Tanda for pics and details, while that, some curious facts:

- women wallets weight around 350 grms.

- men wallets weight around 100 grms.

- Heavier wallets usually don’t have any cash, but cards and who knows what else. Usually they apologize for having such a heavy wallet with no reason and not being able to match the balance.

- Donors with lighter wallets give over the suggested donation marked by the balance and usually, ask for  more soup.

The Pål Hollender Foundation for Ethically or Aesthetically Offended Consumers of Culture

*stored in*: * — Tags: , , — 8:33 pm

The Swedish performance artist and filmmaker Pål Hollender, who in 2003 invested SKr100,000 (around €11,000) in “unethical” companies, has distributed SKr32,500 (€3,235) in “scholarships” derived from the returns. The grants were awarded to visitors last month to “The Pål Hollender Foundation for Ethically or Aesthetically Offended Consumers of Culture” at Malmö Art Museum in southern Sweden.

Hollender’s foundation is itself the work of art, which is owned by the Malmö museum. Physically it consists of 13 boxes, where visitors can post their applications for a scholarship. A text on the wall outlines the foundation’s constitution. The money the scholarship holders receive is intended “to promote insight or further education among cultural consumers with respect to what is commonly thought of as respectable culture”. Applicants must sign a declaration stating that they feel or have felt offended either ethically or aesthetically by culture.

CCA put up an incredible website for “Actions: What you can do with the city”, presenting 99 actions that instigate positive change in contemporary cities around the world.

Sticker Rescues Food: Food is be sold and eaten under rigid legal and customary rules: expiry dates and cosmetic imperfections result in the disposal of many still-edible foods. Edible Excess is a sticker identifying a dumpster as containing food. The sticker helps dumpster divers share resources and draws attention to the abundance and easy accessibility of useful excess; it also advertises the existence of a dumpster-diving community dependent on trash to those who produce it. Forays is a collaboration begun in 2007 at Eyebeam in New York City.
