Other Market (How to set up a market stall)
Research & public performance
The textiles are part of the artistic research project on food economies,
(food) protests and alternative approaches to urban consumption spaces. Other Market is a series of workshops, a public performance and collective laboratory on other modes of exchange. Derived from the shape of an ‚ordinary‘ shopping bag, a collection of carrier bags has evolved. Transformed through adjustments to size, proportions, and practicality, each of them proposes collaboration. The sacks serve to dissect and occupy spaces of consumption, both in positive and interruptive ways.
Embracing aspects of constant negotiation, humor, chaos and the unpredictable the work considers the collective carrying, walking, stumbling and moving against and beyond as a means of thinking through collective gestures and subjective experience.
