Shop Show is a Nordic touring exhibition on consumption, production and the fact that someone always pays the price. New sustainable lifestyles are needed, which does not deplete on the earth's resources. That does not contribute to climate change. That does not increase inequality in the world - where high wage countries in the West generates the most damage, while billions of people in emerging economies such as China, Brazil and Bangladesh both pay the bill and is working hard to live like us.
Ingrid Sommar and Susanne Helgeson's book Köp dig Fri! (Buy yourself free!) is the starting point for this exhibition, a book about design, survival and consumption, published by Arena 2012. There is also an exhibition catalogue, Shop Show (ISBN 978-91-637-4210-1) accompanying the exhibition, with texts written by Birgitta Ramdell, Ingrid Sommar and Susanne Helgeson. Q&A with all the artists and designers. And are including several of Steppan's colour images from the series See Through - All My Things. The exhibition is open 19th October 2013 - 12th January 2014.
