The Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei organises a series of 4 exhibitions entitled Curators in MOCA, 2005 for which 4 local curators are asked to jointly plan 4 exhibitions from different perspectives, i.e. the application of individual ideas and aesthetics in the interpretation of modern Taiwanese culture and global vision.

Trading Place: Contemporary Art Museum is the second exhibition of the series, which is basically a conceptual exhibition as well as a visualized exhibition of discourse. Participating artists start off from the curator's discourse – what is a 'contemporary art museum?' - by questioning the nature of aesthetics, technique, and institution, and then using methods of stealing, replacing, trading, exchange and representation to create hypothetical events and activities that could happen in today's contemporary art world. Artist biographies as well as brief description of the artworks.
