GIFT SHOP
By beginning at, arguably, the most accessible point of entry for most elite art spaces - Gift Shop explores the unique sociocultural context of the museum gift shop environment - wherein the sacred and the mundane, the Mona Lisa and the coffee cup, become one. As ‘fine art’ increasingly isolates itself from the general public, drawing repulsion from the air of pretension necessary to maintain its integrity - Gift Shop serves as a gateway to supporting exceptional fine art by adapting the language of mass marketing, branding and cheap affordable commodification.
Gift Shop Artists include: Amber Eve Anderson, Amy Hughes Braden, Wilson Butterworth, James Cole, Meagan Coleman, Kaliq Crosby, Stephen Crouch, Adrienne Gaither, Felippe Goncavles, Myles Loftin, Joseph Orzal, Georgie Payne, Justin Poppe, PLAKOOKEE, Bonner Sale, Alex Von Bergen, and Meena Yi.
