G.E.E.E. at the MCA, July 26th, the 1st of 2 Saturdays

As part of the Words Weekend Events at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Cream Co. was invited to produce a version of G.E.E.E. on the MCA plaza.

We arrayed about 2,000 basil plants of 17 varieties on the plaza.  The basil plants were available for trade for words: a note or a poem.

For a day, the plaza functioned a site for trade, but looked like a garden.  

 We set out to document people's thoughts for the day, marking a presence of community.
