It's almost bartering; you have to participate in the creation in order to buy.

It's also a response to the economic crisis and ideas of new economy. When artists say, "We want to participate in the festival. How can we?" it's so much fun to say, "Make something new at this place and then sell it here."

"Market" on May 1. It's an open participation event; anyone can come and go to this loft in Bushwick and make something—there will be silk-screening and video stations, and all of that work is going to be put into the Grace Exhibition Gallery where there's going to be a performative economy. All of the work has to be sold, and the viewers coming in have to create some sort of currency.

Megan Byrne: We also asked [performance collective] AUNTS to do something new. I think AUNTS is a phenomenal facilitator to artists. They say yes in ways that most producers just don't. It's fun to watch their wheels turn. What they pitched to us was right in line with everything we were dealing with: It's the idea of a fake economy. So "Factory," on April 18, leads to
