New Deal 2.0

As a heads-up to our upcoming meeting with New Deal 2.0, I researched them (hopefully this is the one LMCC referred to)

About New Deal 2.0 from their site:

ND2.0 is a one-stop-shop for current news, fresh insight, sharp analysis of the country’s fiscal crisis — and the people and policies that offer potential solutions. A project of the Roosevelt Institute, ND2.0 brings you commentary from the country’s leading thinkers: economists, historians, political scientists, policy experts and elected officials.

We go behind the headlines to explore the questions at the heart of the economic and financial reform debates, offering both short, digestible explanations of the issues as well as more in-depth discussions around the finer points of the public conversation. ND2.0 is designed for the well-informed citizen who is tired of spin, sound bites and half-truths — one who is looking for straight-forward information and analysis. A go-to site for anyone seeking useful information about the ideas that will shape our economic future, ND2.0 is a must-read for journalists, opinion leaders and policy makers.

The examination begins here. A platform for today’s most exciting thinkers, ND2.0 is also a place to find the most innovative emerging voices on the economic issues that affect us all.

Mission Statement

Work Progress Collective (WPC) is a hybrid identity, equal parts artist, journalist, political activist, archivist, and curious observer. WPC acknowledges the contemporary condition of art making; looking beyond the traditional artistic boundaries that place participants inside or outside, the model considers an active, implicated audience, performing collectively.

In its current incarnation, WPC is a working agency, referential of a modern day Farm Security Administration documentation initiative.


About Us

WPC is a New York based agency, founded in 2009.

WPC founders Erica Leone, Heather M. O’Brien, and Felisia Tandiono were recently granted an LMCC SwingSpace residency, which will house the WPC headquarters from March - July 2010 on Governors Island. The collective also participated in the Creative Time/PS1 Open Door Program this past January. Included in this close-knit, New York based collaborative are three individuals with diverse national, educational, and professional backgrounds (including photography, film, installation, music, finance, and economics). For WPC founders, this is the first time for each individual to immerse themselves in a collaborative project; through trust, respect, and professionalism the group seeks to evoke a collective experience that can be shared with others.
