Flowers For Memories

Description

Back in February 2024, I wrote a proposal to The Park with an idea to reinstall Trevor Traynor's NEWSSTAND project during ETH Denver. The plan was simple. We'd set up the Newsstand and then next to it, I would set up a pop-up flower cart. At the time, our focus was to try and bridge the divide between crypto natives and the general public. So, instead of the installation being at the actual ETH Denver convention...we opted to meet the public where they are. We decided on a pizza shop called Redeemer because....everyone loves pizza. It's funny how ideas pop up in my head sometimes. The Flowers For Memories concept is no exception. I blame the literal clowns I hang out with in LA to be honest. There's a lot to be learned from the practice of "play" as it pertains to experiences. Simply put, I needed a narrative to make "giving away flowers for free" make sense. 5 minutes before opening, I decided to ask patrons for stories relating to nature / flowers / etc... Could be a story about gardening with your grandma...maybe you received flowers after a ballet recital...or maybe you had a hot date one time and had no idea what flowers to bring. All of those were real stories and have been recorded in a series of small notebooks. Still need to figure out what to do with them. As of writing, there are four books of memories to sort through.
