Work and Trade is a project that uses the gallery as a site for production, exchange, and dialogue. From May 22-29, 2009 Lamson will work in the gallery making drawings with a device that consists of a ceiling fan, string and a marker. Visitors are invited to look through a flat file archive of this work and offer him something in exchange for a drawing of their choice. The traded item will become part of a collection of unique objects on display in the gallery, and anything that is not already in the collection may be offered as a trade. By allowing viewers the ability to trade something for a drawing, Lamson creates both an opportunity for dialogue and a system through which the audience determines the content of the work on display. Through these conversations and the display of traded objects Lamson challenges the viewer to question the criteria by which value is determined."
