A shop window constitutes a bridge between the outside and the inside, the street and the shop, potential buyers and producers, sellers. It alters the relationship between artist and public space. It reverses the logic of much of today’s ‘community art’ or ‘local art’, as it is not the artist who is scanning a specific neighborhood for things to do or deal with – rather it is the local community that can check the field of activity of a group of artists.
The shop window counters the logic of the private art studio or atelier. The artists and their practices are exposed to much more than just the gaze of a spectator. The shop door is always open and entry is free.
