Mercenaria mercenaria

A clambake was held by artist Peter Walsh on the East River shores of Long Island at Socrates Sculpture Park on Sunday, August 10, 2003. Project Mercenaria mercenaria did not make or use wampum. Rather, the free clambake was designed to create a new form that mixes contemporary art practices, mainstream American civil society in the form of a non-profit arts organization and the economic concepts of gift exchange.
