Wear, The Journal of HomeShop #2

Located in the centre of Beijing on one of its old hutong alleyways, HomeShop is a store space turned sleeping-working-living space which uses its window front as the beginning point from which to examine our ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. That given, temporality is a crucial aspect to the work of HomeShop, whereby these relations (e.g., maker/audience, neighbour/friend, seller/buyer) involve processes, wearing in and, perhaps, a mere letting in. We are an open platform as such, seeking to explore the possibilities given the context outside of the creative clusters of Beijings art industry and 798, and within a neighbourhood of steadfast Beijingers who persist amidst the literal rising of change all around them. —- ISBN: 9783000266195 | ISBN10: 3000266194 | ISBN-13: 978-3000266195
