Caveat Emptor

2005

installation

A collaboration with Pete Manwaring (The Bearded Tit) and Tom Rivard (Lean Productions / McGregor Coxall) as part of the inaugural Sydney Esquisse, this multi-layered installation/event/performance was an open critique on the desires and limitations of contemporary shopping prototypes.

Artists were asked to address the concept of shopping with a submitted work which was then re-packaged using the language and style of IKEA into a Holy Catalogue which was located at the altar of a highly atmospheric sacred space (a labyrinthine temple made of milk crates).
