World Interiors

The artists along with hair salon / art gallery DKUK occupied a number of spaces throughout the Savoy centre - Glasgow's self-proclaimed oldest shopping centre.

This exhibition considered the history of the shopping centre as a space for activating communities, alongside the current trends of online buying and generic shopping centres. The artists explored questions of authenticity, value, exchange and choice. This exhibition re-configured the notion of a 'lifestyle centre', which typically focuses on shopping as an experience and the centre as a multi-purpose leisure destination.

DIY capitalism, the death of authenticity and the tricks used to make goods seem more unique and less mass-produced are called into focus, while the future of the Savoy centre and the role art plays in urban redevelopment is considered.
