As Debra Singer said in the Whitney Biennial catalog that year, "as part of an ongoing performance project, this two-person collaborative team offers gallery visitors a menu of four free services: foot washes, hugs, Band-Aid applications to help heal visible or non-visible wounds, and gifts of dollar bills. Their interactive, nurturing performances offer alternative modes of economic and social exchange that serve as a comforting antidote to the potentially alienating effects of a world often dominated by technology and consumerism."

Praxis (entrepreneurship)

Praxis is an educational program that aims to teach entrepreneurship to young people and that a traditional college education is not the only way to success. Praxis was founded by Isaac Morehouse in 2013.

Background

After interacting with businesspeople and students while working for an educational nonprofit, Morehouse noticed a skills gap between recently-graduated college students and employers. Having been homeschooled himself and then exposed to a university-education, Morehouse noticed the disparity in skills taught and skills demanded by the professional world, as well as the frustration faced by students who expected a job upon graduation. This led Morehouse to realize that most of the perceived value of a college degree comes from its value as a signaling mechanism, showing employers that a candidate is superior to those without the signal. Employers told Morehouse that a lack of work experience was the primary reason they did not hire candidates with college degrees. The lack of the strength in the signal led Morehouse to found Praxis in 2013 as an alternative signal for employers and students, combining a traditional liberal arts education with work experience than that which is gained in college.
