Under New Management: Video Rental Store: Su-Ying Lee & Suzanne Carte

Main Gallery: October 23rd – December 4th, 2021

“Under New Management: Video Rental Store” gives audiences unprecedented access to artists’ work by allowing them to take work out of the gallery for viewing as they wish. The video rental store operates similarly to any retail rental; however all of the available titles are works by artists. Viewers/customers/renters provide non-monetary payment to the artists in the form of textual or object feedback.
