This weekend, September 13, 3 – 5pm in NYC onboard the Waterpod™, Barter System Beauty Salon will be offering a one day special: FUNCTIONAL UTOPIAN MANICURES for the URBAN SURVIVALIST!
The Barter System Beauty Salon developed by conceptual artist Cassie Thornton as a platform to explore ideas of beauty with people and experiment with a profitable, non-monetary system for exchange. In exchange for a tax deductible description of beauty, clients will be able to receive a functional manicure that will open up the possibilities of what they can do with their hands!
About the Waterpod: The Waterpod is about autonomous mobile systems of living that are low-tech, ad hoc, and adaptable. The Waterpod embodies these ideas and responds to their present uses, while “Nomadographies” projects into the future in a performative and metaphoric way. New York–based photographer and sculptor Mary Mattingly has designed The Waterpod, a floating eco-habitat that recalls the work of Buckminster Fuller, Andrea Zittel, and Constant Nieuwenhuis and launched this May in the East River.
