Curatorial context

During May 16 to June 3, 2002, Carolina Caycedo embarked on a project using a delivery van to travel through Vienna, establishing temporary, mobile 'markets.' This initiative, a continuation of her previous projects, aimed to organize daily life through non-monetary bartering. The Secession's homepage featured a dedicated platform for these exchanges and discussions on alternative economic forms. Caycedo offered various goods and services, including a temporary hair and beauty salon, engaging passersby in negotiations for exchanges. The project 'Day to Day' draws inspiration from Hakim Bey's concept of 'Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ),' conceptualizing 'Utopian Realities' that exist outside the control of politics, religion, and dominant economic mechanisms. Echoing her 1998 founding of the 'Street Museum' in Bogota, a collection of exchange objects, 'Day to Day' also functions as a mobile companion and a stage for communication about informal economies.
