Notions of Expenditure

Notions of Expenditure is a "request for speculative proposals to re-design exercise equipment to generate and store energy; and/or to retrofit gyms to function as local power sources linked to the grid." Initiated by artist A. Laurie Palmer, who also initiated a project for DuSable Park in Chicago, the project is aided by the support from Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois at Chicago
