3 October - 20 December
Warhol’s ‘American Supermarket’ was but the start; Richard Hamilton, Barbara Kruger, Andreas Gursky and Banksy by turns have shone their coruscating spotlight on consumerism and consumption, and showed just how hard our hearts – and our arts – can be. Every commercial gallery IS a shop – and now almost every non-commercial gallery HAS a shop.
Velorose and Plinth have taken Duchamp’s assertion that art is a commodity, taken it off its plinth, and put it on the shelf. Everything, and everyone, must go!
