USSA 2012: The People's Palace's Gift Shop
This was the wall text for the exhibition. It was posted as a small photocopy out side the closed gift shop weeks before the show opened. The actual gift shop had closed a few months before the show was to open. All the merchandising was removed and the storefront windows were papered over. I left a small photo-copy of this text outside during the installation period...a kind of elegiac poem to the closed shop.
