Installed: Savers
“Can N0ise B Hostile installed and left at Savers, 1925 Pawtucket Ave East Providence, RI. They have quite an exhibit continuously on view and I can’t say that my work exactly stands out in the bunch. Most often I’d prefer to actually install the paintings on the wall somewhere within the location via a thumbtack or a pre-existing nail/screw, but the ease of just plopping the work alongside all the others for sale was enticing to me. It’s been nice seeing the conversations that may occur between the neighboring works.”
Gates vs Jobs shopdropping?
Not sure if this fits with previous shopdropping projects…but a fun stunt nonetheless.

Shopdropping submission
Last month was the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, which killed 146 garment workers. To commemorate this tragedy Gabrielle Karras created a project about contemporary garment workers.
These turtlenecks were purchased in Portland, Oregon at Goodwill but were made in Nicaragua. Karras embroidered information about the typical wage of factory workers in Nicaragua on the garment and then reintroduced or “shopdropped” them back into the Goodwill where they were bought.

A shopdropping shout out? Or more likely a reference to the Warhol cans that the original Shopdropping cans were also indebted to.

So the move to a new server is really only a 1/2 day task – and yet, finding that time lately has been tough. Anyway, here we are. Text and content are all here. Local images will be restored very soon. Promise.
