MAD: museum of arts and design highlights "Critical Space" film

One of the highlights of the conference was a conversation submitted by Christopher Cozier, artist/ writer in Trinidad, in which he and publisher Richard Rawlins discussed the “creative possibilities” in the Caribbean as well as the “collaborative networks, off- and online, that are evolving around Alice Yard and its partners.” Cozier is co-curator and “instigator” of the Alice Yard space and blogspot with architect Sean Leonard, writer /editor Nicholas Laughlin, and musician Sheldon Holder.

Proyecto Capital is a collective between two Colombian artists, Alejandro Mina and Mar Molano, and local artist Michelle Isava.

Together they have been collecting the coins that decorate the streets of the Port of Coins. It is based on the way foreign eyes see differently. Michelle Isava has been acting as the intermediary between the foreign and the local as she herself is half and half; with a family background from Venezuela but by birth a Trinidadian.

Once they had discovered that the coins were everywhere they felt compelled to start collecting. The interest lies in the coin's value, in Colombia a coin can be worth as much as 200 pesos and in Venezuela it can be as much as 500 b.s. and so coins are never found abandoned on the ground.

The plan therefore of this collaboration is to install mountains of coins
in various locations around the Port of Spain and document
the people's reaction to them.
