Trading Tortoise by Souther Salazar

Leave it to the imaginations of Souther Salazar and Monica Choy to develop The Trading Tortoise, one of the most creative interactive traveling art installations we’ve heard of in a very long time. Watch Salazar and Choy discuss their vision for the project in the video above, and click HERE to learn how you can get involved by helping to fund their idea through Kickstarter (they are even offering hand-made items as added incentives to thank backers who pledge intervals of $10 or more)!

The entire experience will serve as inspiration for Salazar’s artwork in his next solo exhibition at Jonathan LeVine Gallery, scheduled for May, 2013.

We’re very excited by every component of this fun, inspiring endeavor and encourage everyone to please take a look, pledge if you can, and help share/spread the word!
