Taylor Harder and Teresa Tam, "Fare Trade - M:ST Fundraiser,"

Fare Trade approaches contemporary performance art through the act of preparing and sharing food. Taylor Harder and Teresa Tam each navigate identity through their own connections to traditional knowledge of food, each prompting viewers to become participants through the shared human necessity of nourishment. Contextualized within a fundraising event, this project confronts issues of monetary exchange in relation to food, as well as art, in contemporary, neo-liberal society. The temporal nature of art, specifically performance art, is illustrated through the impermanence and transience of foodstuffs, and our corporeal relation to it. Fare Trade is curated by Signy Holm, and features project taking place throughout September by Teresa Tam and Taylor Harder.

Online Fundraiser

Similar to our Spring Runoff fundraisers in the past, Fare Trade consists of multiple conceptual projects. These projects are intended to raise more than just funds as well as conversation, community, and conviviality. Throughout the duration of the Fare Tradeperformative projects, we will also be accepting donations online apart from the projects for those who wish to contribute more.

If you support Mountain Standard Time and what we do, please consider donating for our next Biennial in 2020. Donations help us pay our artists at or above the CARFAC standard, and support other important costs such as travel, accommodation, and more. Any amount is helpful, and we are incredibly thankful for the generous support of our community.
