"Shopping"

For a month, the shops and shoppers around Carnaby Street are involved in
an artistic endeavour - Shopping. Shopping allows the culturally aware
person to indulge in the joys of aesthetic enlightenment free of charge,
whilst simultaneously keeping one step ahead in the fashion stakes.
Shopping muddies the waters of art and advertising, clouds cultural
credibility and commercial reality, and confuses the angst of modern art
with the pleasure of consumption. Shopping makes the world a better place
by relieving stress and making people feel good about themselves.
Shopping exhibits the work of 30 leading artists on shopping bags which are
given away with purchases from participating stores in the Carnaby Street
area. Each artist has worked with one of the stores to produce a limited
edition bag displaying a work of art. Visit the Shopping Gallery at 15
Ganton Street, London, W1.
