The Meadow Mogul and Commodification Station a performance by Carla Rae Johnson for the Collaborative Concepts Farm Project 2010
The Meadow Mogul (a humorous character motivated by greed and self-interest, and indifferent to practices of ecology and sustainability) performed a parody in the pasture on a working farm in Garrison, NY. The Meadow Mogul encouraged visitors to participate in the commodification of “nature” and the earth.
The Meadow Mogul is dedicated to the proposition that all of nature is created for human consumption and commodification.
