Spitibank turned the teller area of a former Citibank in Midtown Manhattan into a bacterial banking service for one evening in October 2014. The installation exchanged bacterial deposits for drinks, recasting the bank as a site of biological exchange. It formed part of a group show conceived by Amy Cheung to imagine other instruments of profit and value.
