Proposal to extend the free shop
Proposal to extend the free shop
We plan to extend the free shop in to the gallery space for the last two weeks of december, an alternative to chistmas shopping.
Make new things out of old things,
BRAINSTORM NOW

Yeah, really cool. Also Buy Nothing Day is Nov 24th in the UK and there might be something going on in Edinburgh. A good source of ideas if nothing else.
I've had it with you. If I had an image of a laser gun I would absolutely position it right here in my hand...
Ha! I have a real laser absolutely positioned in my hand!

it would be great to use the gallery space to create a "shop", subverting common retail bollocks.
it would be good to have people altering stuff to make artist's editions, one off objet d'arte type stuff made from free things
maybe a policy of take something make something, or take something, deposit free stuff or similar.

Buy none get one free.
On a side subject,
I was in I think Frazer's just the other day,
they now offer Personal Shoppers
'House of Fraser's personal shopping service is invaluable. Specially trained staff (who've undergone rigorous tuition) will be more than happy to listen to your needs, and advise and perhaps introduce you to labels you may never have thought of trying before'
In turn I intend to set up my own service
Personal Shoplifter.
(though I don't figure getting my own fingers dirty, I fancy myself in a Fagin role)

Pep Up The Turmoil
Paying someone to sell you things, in such an explicit way, has to be about as far as you can take capitalism before it implodes. It is like paying for your own shopping channel. This is the sort of excess that the pharaohs indulged in, and look what happened to them.
Can we have our own Father Christmas who offers up the contents of his sack to smiling faced children?

Tee-shirts, Mugs, Cards...
Tea shirts!
We can make fun simple designs with a fabric pen. I'm gonna get some soon! YES! Or by stitching simple stuff!
Mugs!
Festive Handpainted Mugs has to be a must. Can we get some sort of mug painting thing happening?
Bits and bobs re-cycled scrap store did a Christmas card workshop last year, maybe we could combine that with the event? The cards getting made last year were all worryingly cliched though. The cards that Ryan did last donkeys years ago were ace, we need more stuff like dat.
