DAYTODAY in L.A.

People from LA, have you heard about DAYTODAY? It is an itinerant project by Carolina Caycedo, based on non-monetary exchanges and informal distribution of commodities and services. g727, host of DAYTODAY, invites you to experience the magic of barter.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE? Simple. Bring in your item to exchange at the location and times listed below. You can bring any kind of contribution or donation to the gallery. It can be an object, a drawing, a certificate or a service you offer written on a card, a recording of your voice, or even a ticket for an event. All the contributions will become part of the GREAT BARTER DAY in the gallery on August 1st from 1-4pm.

This means when you contribute on the DROP OFF DAY (July 31st), you can return on GREAT BARTER DAY (August 1st) and take with you something that represents another person, something that comes from another part of the world, or simply something that you need.

Meet the Artist and DROP OFF DAY
Carolina will be receiving and cataloging the objects and services. The artist will also be discussing her project with the audience and will be giving a walk through of the project.
