Summer! Always a fabulous time to stop by one of the city’s finest galleries for a pop-up shop of merchandise made by artists. While many of us have been selling our plasma to make the rent lately, that’s all the more reason to seek some kind of inspiration in the art gems on display at "The Shop: Summer Blow Out." This special moment of fabulous stuff-buying is informed in part by the spirit of the original Fluxus movement — a network of artists, composers, and designers in the '60s who brought their creations together for humorous events, poking fun at the seriousness of modern art. With that in mind, more than 20 featured artists show work that explores art vs. commerce. Alongside pieces by portrait photographer Ari Marcopolous, zine editor and Mr. Lady Records owner Tammy Rae Carland, and Yuval Pudik, the shop has records, limited-edition publications, and other marvelous baubles brought into being by local and international talents.
