From the Facebook event page GIFT SHOP | Curated by NoMüNoMü

Transformer presents Gift Shop, a large scale installation curated by DC based artist collective NoMu NoMu (joseph orzal & Nora Müeller), that questions boundaries of commerce within cultural institutions. Merging the realms of art, design, craft, conceptuality and entertainment, Gift Shop rejects all hierarchy and embraces a pluralism of form that will liberate your soul! 

By beginning at the most accessible point of entry for most elite art spaces - Gift Shop explores the sociocultural context of the museum gift shop environment - wherein the sacred and the mundane, the Mona Lisa and the coffee cup, become one. As ‘fine art’, increasingly isolates itself from the general public, drawing repulsion from the air of pretension necessary to maintain its integrity - Gift Shop serves as a gateway to support exceptional fine art by adapting the language of mass marketing, branding and cheap affordable commodification.”
