Description

ABOUT HOMESHOP

HomeShop began as a storefront residence and artist initiative in Beijing 2008. Located in the centre of the city on one of its old hutong alleyways, the space and its window front were used as the beginning points from which to examine ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. Artists, designers and thinkers came together via multiple, interwoven series of small-scale activities, interventions and documentary gestures, processes by which HomeShop served as an open platform to question existing models of economic and artistic production. Here, daily life, work and the community served as explorations of micropolitical possibility, and of working together.

ABOUT APPENDIX

Appendix is a collection of 43 parallel moments gathered from those who have been close to HomeShop for years, or in passing, and located at the edges of our project. As HomeShop closes its doors for good at the end of 2013, this publication begins from the question of what extra has been produced during this time, and seeks in part to address some of these residuals, imagining to incorporate them, or at least to acknowledge and trace the extent of their supplementation.
