Art (and Anthropology) At the World Trade Organization : Chronicle of an Intervention
In a « personal second act » to the CNRS project of collaborative ethnography (2008-2010) at the WTO, led by Marc Abeles, George E. Marcus proposes to trace the various prototypes that he conceived or tried to produce as an art/anthropology installation at the Centre William Rappard, Geneva, as Pascal Lamy’s Director-Generalship came to end (June, 2013). Though none of the prototypes were fully successful as art or anthropology in place, they, together, were an interesting experiment in showing the limits and potential of interventions in the scenes of fieldwork.
