Feeling that the YBCA Occupy show was short on context, Occupy Docents created a guerrilla art action in which individuals participating in the
Occupy movement occupied the exhibit in order to explain to gallery
goers the economic, social and political context in which the YBCA
Occupy show occurred.October 2, 2012
Cheryl Meeker put a 1960's Barbie Dreamhouse in the coat check at YBCA during the YBCA Occupy show. On the occasion of the Occupy Docents lectures and conversations with gallery goers in the galleries, Meeker put the Dreamhouse in the lobby of the museum, where it remained undisturbed during the course of the event. The contents having shifted during travel and storage, the furniture and other objects inside the dreamhouse, were shown as they appeared when the walls were unfolded.
