DESCRIPTION
More&More (A Guide
to the Harmonized System), is an experimental “brick” of a book that acts as an
intervention into the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (also known as the HS Code). The HS
Code is the internationally accepted standard of product classification of commodities for national and
international trade. All legal trade products (and illegal ones that find loopholes) are shipped using this
system. More&More (A Guide to the Harmonized System) lists the astonishing variety of items that
are shipped around the world and includes instructions for using the code to ship items (both legally and
illegally). The book includes poetic, personal, and scholarly annotations by Stacy Alaimo, Heather Davis,
Kathleen Forde, Dylan Gauthier, Elena Glasberg, Calliope Mathios, Steve Mentz, Astrida Neimanis, Chris Piuma,
Elspeth Probyn, Sarah Rothberg, Phil Steinberg, Rita Wong, and Marina Zurkow.
Its companion book, More&More
(The Invisible Oceans), is a catalog of the exhibition, featuring many full-color images of the
art on display (including video stills, bespoke bathing suits, and fungal sculptures), as well as an
introduction by Marina Zurkow and a conversation between Zurkow and international curator Kathleen Forde.
