Cambridge's much treasured gallery MEME had a run of exhibitions where selected artists opened up temporary shops for commerce. My friend Taylor had her shop, POST TRADING, set up as an interactive space for the creation of custom performance video documents. I paid her some of my hard-earned dollars to videotape me and put it on the internet. My goal was to take every object in her collection of props (to be handled by strangers) down my pants, as a means of "tainting" them. (Not literally with my perenium, though. Everything went between layers.)

Taylor is an awesome artist and I thought her shop was very excellently conceived and executed. She's been editing video and creating packages for clients for weeks since! My only complaint was that it didn't last very long, but none of the stores did. POST TRADING's VIMEO page has tons of footage uploaded. Go take a look!
