DESCRIPTION

Book is part of a project titled 'Erratic Anthropologies'. Investigating the visual culture of suburbia and the commune in a quasi-antropological fashion, the artists each created narratives into which they inserted themselves, literally and metaphorically. Guy Benfield's project 'Night Store' was commissioned by Art in General and exhibited in its first floor Storefront Gallery from October 29, 2009 to January 9, 2010. This project was one of three that were collectively titled Erratic Anthropologies. Guy Benfield transformed Art in General's Storefront Gallery into 'Night Store', a studio, pottery showroom, storage space, and site for his performances: Shana Moulton's multi-channel video installation and performance 'The Undiscovered Antique' presented an episode in the life of her alter-ego Cynthia, desperately seeking the Antiques Roadshow; while Rancourt/Yatsuk enacted the story of fictitious star realtor Don Donavucci and his attemps to construct a model home during the height of the housing market crash in Phase IV. The three exhibitions transformed Art in General into sites that were immersive, fantastical, and, at times, chaotic. Text source: Anne J. Barlow, Foreword. Contributors: Anne J. Barlow, Foreword.
