At the centre of Don Parker’s belief is that we are no longer a passive society when it comes to the brand. We do not look at the posters on walls, we do not feel, breathe or imagine. Art is no longer holding peoples imaginations, capturing their souls, or raising ideals, stirring anger, forming bile. But we believe in all mighty Dollar. We no longer understand our heritage, politically or socially.But we know who to buy our products from. With his installation Supermarket, Don Parker, using a personal 15 year experience in advertising business, explores strategies of marketing and consumer habits. The store is filled with cans, which are limited edition artworks. A CCTV surveillance system, a weak lock, and trust in our fellow man… What will you do – buy or steal?
