Dance floor available in 2 colors , flatpak include 2 extra dance floors.
Who remembers these? I recall being on tip toe putting some
money in then just about managing to turn the dial to get some sweets out, gob stoppers,
It was always stiff to turn and more often than not when it did turn, nothing came out.

John's Field Office Fellowship Project
John will be hosting an event at the Waabizipinikaan cabin in Somerset, WI. The exact details of the event is yet to be determined, but the basic idea is to explore community building through contemporary barn-raising activities. His question is simple: how to use the space once it’s been built that helps create a stronger sense of community among people who are a part of the project.

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired Chair
YO MAMA mothers will build a Sick and Tired of Being Sick And Tired Chair. (Fannie Lou Hammer, a black woman community activist coined this phrase. Ironically Ms. Hammer suffered a lot of health problems. A few were directly tied to racial injustices and health disparities. She was sterilized without her consent or knowledge and she was beaten for her Civil Rights work). Upon completion it will be placed in public spaces for people to sit and contemplate 3 questions written on a rock (to be sat next to the chair). I envision it by a bus stop, in a garden, and in a Tea Room

Rachel Breen is an artist, a teacher and an associate of On the Commons. She teaches art at Anoka Ramsey Community College. Rachel’s main drawing tool is her sewing machine which she uses as a way to examine ideas of contemporary social concerns. She lives in South Minneapolis, has 2 sons and a Beagle named Zues. She is hoping for a good tomato crop from her garden this year.

Bank of the Commons Wealth
A public/performance art piece that will investigate strategies for getting participation and investment in the idea of common wealth. The project will involve the creation of a mobile bank comprised of a foot-powered peddle sewing machine that will be stationed at different locations at different times. The public will be encouraged to invest a minimum of a dollar bill in the idea of a bank of the commons. The dollar they invest will be sewn to the dollar invested previously – creating a chain of dollar bills sewn together. Investments in the bank will be logged in a ledger that will accompany the dollar bill chain as a record of public participation and support. My question is – what makes people invest in ideas about the commons.

Founded by Ben Awes, Christian Dean, and Bob Ganser, CITYDESKSTUDIO maintains a broad range of design focus - exploring the boundaries that architecture operates within. Between the larger boundless environment (suggested by CITY) and the intense focused craftsmanship of the object (embodied by the DESK).

A new sign to invite and encourage: A personal experience in public space / an invitation to see beyond / redirect - Identify a series of spaces on the Walker grounds and the immediate edges that hold the potential to frame a distinct and possibly overlooked quality unique to that space: Each space would have a pre-existing municipal or institutional sign that currently directs and negotiates one’s current experience. A new ‘sign’ would complement the existing sign and invite the public to find a quality of that place / condition that may be overlooked or obscured in part by the existing sign. The sign would also invite the public to respond via a web address with their impression of that space. We would like to work with Works Progress on hosting a web site to gather responses. Can the general “tone” of signing throughout our environment shift / expand / modulate by responding to / encouraging recognition of / framing other important conditions in the public space?

The Mobile Creative Outpost
The Mobile Creative Outpost is a nomadic social gathering point that redefines spaces into areas of a creative, self-determined activity. Inspired by the free open-ended play of adventure playgrounds or junk playgrounds, the Creative Outpost doesn’t propose a specific program. Instead, it offers a variety of loose parts, old building materials, tools and open-ended equipment that challenges participants to come up with their own objects, inventions and activities.

FLAT1012 What's it like living day-to-day in a house that's also a national fishbowl of modern design? We find out by snooping around at the Flatpak house of Minneapolis architect Charlie Lazor. The sleek prefab 2,600-square-foot house, built in 2004 along the Kenworth bike path in Minneapolis, has been featured in Dwell as well as other magazines because of its trend-setting construction techniques combined with its sophisticated modern lines in glass, wood and concrete. And while Lazor lives there with his wife, Zelda and their 2 children, the house also serves to promote his business and design ideals. People from around the U.S. and the world have trooped through it, and Lazor is now partnered to offer prefab modern home designs through Dwell magazine. Focus is on interior design, which Lazor did, using mostly furniture from Design within Reach and his former firm, Blu Dot Furniture.

The journey of our reconnection to the earth parallels our journey of reconnection to self and to others. If we are to heal the earth we will have to simultaneously heal ourselves and each other. Deep listening, authentic conversation and art are potential mediums for magical transformation, healing and empowerment. In the witness of others, our words that speak of past, present and future can create new realities. Can we invite people, who are attracted to this idea, from different walks of life to gather in a circle of sorts - to tell their story, talk of the gifts they have to offer the world and express their souls in art? How might the individual art generated connect and speak to each other? What might emerge from this process as tools for the future of our planet, applied here and now?

Reading Room
Reading Room is an experiment in intention. Finding myself unable or unwilling to make time for personal, nonwork pleasure book reading, I realized that I would, probably, actually pay money to go somewhere, preferably a quiet place with comfortable chairs, proper lighting, and no electronics, and read. In our busy lives, will book lovers actually make time, intentionally, to go to a designated place solely to read a book, for an extended period of time, unplugged? Does reading (a solitary act) somehow become more attractive, more meaningful when surrounded by others (a crowd) who also have taken time to intentionally read? By putting a frame around the act of reading, will participants somehow gain a new appreciation for their time, and take Reading Room on the road?

I took Jason to see the FlatPak house, since he had read about it yet didn't know where to find it. Uber cool.
If you don't blink, you'll see our house (and other FlatPaks) during a video presentation in the Museum of Modern Art's 6th floor gallery exhibition of "Home Delivery."
Here's the background on the exhibition:
