I worked across the board during my time at Have Company, trying different techniques for exploring a retail space as a social space. All sorts of things came out of this: business meetings, a clothing swap, coffee dates, google documents, after-hours homemade tattoos, focused hangouts, work parties, public art poems, and a spacial study for the evolving residency. I hosted a screen-free workshop called How To Have A Hangout. Marlee and I worked to re-imagine the back of the shop space and develop a firm social architecture for the residency.
