Convenience Store
by MICHELLE WEINBERG
“Convenience Store” is a store within a store, a replica pop-up corner shop,a shrine to the expectation of consumers accustomed to fulfilling their shopping needs on any corner anywhere at any hour. Its plexiglas storefront flickers with moving images rear-projected from within.
Original animations and videos by Weinberg present brief scenarios on shopping and window shopping, from the mundane to the abstract: coveting fetishized trinkets, urgently seeking serviceable workaday items, even the desires of objects themselves to become animate or immortal.
