The first exhibition in the Money Series, this show plunged viewers into the intersections of money, sex, and power found in both art and sex work. We mounted visual art on the bodies of submissive male clients. The primacy of the viewer’sgaze and desire was unraveled as the art and the object holding the art gazed and desired back.
The show was featured in Office
Mag and on the Peepshow podcast.
Visual and performing artists included Caroline Caldwell, Emily McMaster, Emily Tat, Eva Tusquets, Exotic Cancer, Heather Benjamin, Laur Duvall, Kathryn Kane, Molly Crabapple, Moral Athletics, Maidenfed
Miss Sugar Mamasota, Monika Rostvold, Najva Sol, Niko Flux, Pluma Sumaq, Ruth Merwin, Slime Pony, St. Joan Taillor, Stoya, Weronika Reps, Yana Toyber
Pro-Dommes included Lady Alice Blackwell, Miss Neena De Ville, General Gretchen, Princess Rosie Royal, Goddess Lilith
Afterparty hosted by the Taillor Collective

The Money Series is an ongoing experiment that uses installation and performance art to bring the dynamics at play in sex work into art gallery spaces. By forcing viewers to engage with clients and workers in real, intersubjective exchanges as a prerequisite for viewing the art, the very experience of perception is accompanied by the experiences the pieces relay. The Money Series creates a vantage point — the audience sees art about sex work from within the position of a sex work dynamic. We believe this experience opens up the possibility for connection, empathy, and revelation amongst both the sex working and non-sex working communities alike.
