Shadowshop
Fifth-floor overlook gallery
Shadowshop is a temporary, alternative store and distribution point, organized by artist Stephanie Syjuco and embedded within the museum's fifth-floor galleries. While operating as an actual mom-and-pop-style store, Shadowshop is also a platform for exploring the ways in which artists are navigating the production, consumption, and dissemination of their work. For almost six months, Shadowshop will feature hundreds of local Bay Area artist products, give museum visitors access to a wide variety of affordable wares, and provide a snapshot of a vibrant and energetic art scene.
Four themes — artwork-as-commodity, cultural souvenirs, bootlegs and counterfeits, and alternative distribution systems — will contextualize selected projects that are both complicit with and critical of capitalist circulation. Special projects will be commissioned from Packard Jennings, Juan Luna-Avin, and Imin Yeh. Shadowshop will also be punctuated by in-shop events including product launches, artist appearances, and performances.
Open during museum hours. For more information and a full list of artist participants, visit www.shadowshop.org.
Free with museum admission.
