For the Next 5 Minutes 4, De Geuzen organized a swap meet where tactical traditions and the politics they represent were featured, exchanged and generally talked about. By tactical traditions we mean buttons, flyers, T-shirts, pie throwing, stencils, stickers and various other analog media. | For the event we designed around 25 blankets that operated as a tactical interface. Made to be viewed vertically as a banner, or horizontally as a surface, or from above as a shelter, our blankets were a kind of nomadic, carry-all, platform for attending participants.

Selling out Brazil... For the first days of the conference the blankets circulated both inside and outside various venues of the Next 5 Minutes. Owners quite literally unfolded them and squatted or occupied any space they saw fit to air their wares and promote their cause. | In preparation for the Swap Meet we had set-up this weblog for people to get to know each other and exchange ideas, resources, and know-how in advance of the event.
