Pilvi Takala - Bag Lady - Mind the System, Find the Gap | Z33

― Z33be

Interview about 'Bag Lady' by Pilvi Takala. Part of the exhibition Mind the System, Find the Gap (02.06-30.09.2012) Bag Lady is based on a week-long intervention in a shopping mall in Berlin, where the artist went shopping carrying a lot of cash in a transparent plastic bag. Behaving like a perfect customer while doing something totally wrong, Bag Lady is both a security threat and a subject of protection. Existing in both roles but fitting in neither, she challenges the pleasant and secure shopping atmosphere of the mall, especially the people responsible for maintaining it. This slight intervention sheds controversial light on the fragility of the social order and lifts the cover from unwritten rules of particular social situations. http://www.z33.be/en/projects/mind-system-find-gap
