Artists responded to an open call to participate in Marleine Chedraoui's project, WHILE STOCKS LAST | HQ. The performance took place as part of the fourth edition of the Basel Social Club ‘Bank.’ The venue was the historic building of a former private bank on Rittergasse in 2025.

One of the artists was positioned inside the building, while the others were spread out along Rittergasse. Marleine Chedraoui was also in Rittergasse, near a van that served as a multi-functional space. The artist's name, the title and year of creation of the work, and her Instagram handle were displayed on the three sides of the vehicle. A QR code led to further information on Chedraoui's website.

The artists held up signs and carried objects on a trolley that were for sale. They received a 50 percent share of the proceeds. The front of the signs bore the inscription ‘I am an artist. Please PROMOTE me.’ The back featured a QR code that also directed to the project page on Chedraoui's homepage. There the names of all participating artists are listed along with links to their online portfolios, which provide insights into their work.

The trolleys were loaded with several objects. Each object consists of a sign and a specially made bubble wrap bag. A delivery note pocket is attached to the bag, which contains the corresponding certificate. At the time of purchase, the name of the buyer was noted on the certificate as a person involved in the project.
