We Will Always Have Venice is a new participatory project framed as a series of collateral actions deployed in and around the 2011 Venice Biennale. Museum patrons are invited to travel with FS to Venice and help perform the actions. The scope of the project includes enlistment of participants, participation in all training workshops, the mission to Venice, and post-trip activities. The projects primary objectives are to create lasting critical reflections concerning the role of the biennale in contemporary culture and to temporarily redirect some of the flow of creative communication and power of the biennale experience into the hands of the project participants and the public at large. Secondary intentions are to investigate aesthetic judgments, boundaries (as artist, institution, audience, and public), and relevance (economic, historical, social, and political) of the biennale. The individual actions also explore appropriation, intervention, memory, ritual and transgression, institutional critique, history, collaboration, power, and space. The specific nature of each mission action and the roles of participants will be presented to the group once in Venice. FS has contracted a professional tour company to manage all travel, food, and accommodations for Venice. Space is limited; a maximum of thirty-six people can participate in this project. Upon completion of the mission, each participant will receive a limited edition artwork commemorating the project. http://www.finishing-school.net/venice

The M.O.L.D. project is a hot zone-themed wet lab and workshop that investigates the science, politics, and culture of food decomposition. The audience is invited to participate in various experiments and build their own amateur bioindicators (living species used to monitor the health of an environment or ecosystem) to assess food quality and safety. According to Finishing School, food molds have an anecdotal value in determining the quality of their hosts by demonstrating the presence of decay-fighting preservatives, additives, and genetic engineering. The goal of the installation is to engage participants in a critical experience and conversation about the quality and safety of the food we consume.

Finishing School was invited by LACMA to create a project for their Late Night Art event that responds to their Franz West exhibit. We naturally thought a puppet show would fit the bill. The puppet show scripts are paraphrased interviews that Franz has had over his career. The puppets were created at LACMA by the event audience and then coaxed into performing the scripts.
