pursed

2003 video/installation or single-channel tape by Nancy Buchanan & Cynthia Maughan

Taste and the Sublime; as the artworld scrupulously avoids commodity critique, we not-so-gingerly approach the last taboos in art: money and class. Masked as a comedic rant, the tape asks whether compulsive shopping cripples an individual's imagination. A discourse on the evils of marketing and the marketing of evil. What's your bag?
