Horse and Sparrow investigates the requirements for realism in the study of economically-oriented social action. The project concerns itself with producing visual and semantic devices that aim to recover the models, systems, and narratives put forth by economists. Initiated in 2008, Horse and Sparrow developed through in-house research and field work, as well as through commissions and an Economist-in-Residence program. The project includes tables, diagrams, wall-sculptures, videos, and texts.
Works presented: An Action, Range of Possible Actions, A Behaviour; A Law, Titanic (86 of 126 sketches representing the relationship between price and quantity with values ranging from 0 to 4); Virtuous Circle I and II; Side Effects/The True North Strong and Free; Sesame Street Economics; and Economic Sciences (as a branch of psychology).
