Presented as part of a two-month exploration into consumerism and cultural expression in the Bay Area, for July and August, Root Division’s rear gallery will feature a guest curated group exhibition by Michael Arcega entitled, Bizarre Bazaar exploring the intersection of cultures and objects within a strange global economic system. The works in this show explore the unexpected connections between commerce, the fetish commodity, and the collapse that is often built into the dystopic capitalist system.
In a world of guilty pleasures, uncontrollable desires, binging, hoarding, and over-indulgence, Bizarre Bazaar explores our complicated relationship with consumerism and consumption. From a reluctant submission to that desire or an outright rejection of the system, these works expose the spectrum of responses to our contemporary dilemma.
