FairCoins im Kiosk des Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

Im Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein läuft die Ausstellung "Who Pays?" mit Werken von Joseph Beuys. Lokale Aktuere sind eingeladen, einen Raum zu bespielen, in dem alternatives Wirtschaften gezeigt wird. Da gibt es eine grosse Tauschbörse, einen Kiosk mit mehr oder wenigen unnötigen Dingen und einen Gast-Kiosk als Bühne für Workshops.
