Tonight if you are in New York City, we highly recommend that you check
out: ‘Over the Counter Culture’ Ange Taggart at 7pm at 16 Beavergroup,
16 Beaver St in Lower
Manhattan

Ange’ll be discussing & screening work at "http://16beavergroup.org/">16Beavergroup joined by UK artist/activists
James Leadbitter and Denis Buckley. She works and lectures out of Nottingham,
England, where she co founded Fanclub, and gave birth to its sequel "http://www.mydadsstripclub.com/"> My Dads Strip Club, she coordinates a
UK/USA based anti-consumer task force of CZW1s (Commercially Zoned Workers). She
describes her work as “experimental and risky2 in the sense that it hijacks and
re-appropriates public space. The glossy environment of the department store
provides a perfect context for her pseudo-shopping antics right at the heart of
the corporate superstructure. She reserves a special vitriol and mistrust for
Wal-Mart, Gap, Starbucks and the evil of Martha Stewart products, her work has
been noted by their CCTV camera operators worldwide. The relationship between
political activism and the increasing interest in this type of action (Buy
Nothing Day, Rev Billy, Whirl Mart) demonstrates the degree of frustration an
increasing number of individuals feel.
