Project Description:

"Given the current economy, we imagine that lunchtime down on Wall Street isn’t the entertaining, three martini affair it once was. Enter Zach Morris and Tom Pearson of Third Rail Projects..." – Flavorwire [Read the full article]

Undercurrents & Exchange is a month-long engagement with the employees and visitors of the World Financial Center. During February, artists will present a new dance every workday during the lunch hour, unearthing the hidden, interpersonal undercurrents of our daily routines. Each short dance will be a world unto itself but also accumulate meaning over the course of the month as the performances reveal the often veiled, but perpetually possible connections within the transitional spaces of the Winter Garden. Coupled with the performances are short films playing on plasma screens and three art installations located throughout the WFC that further explore hidden and improbable pairings.
