Hillerbrand+Magsamen Gift Shop

As artist, consumer, and art historian, the collaborative team of Hillerbrand+Magsamen investigates photography as the defining medium of modernism through our consumer culture. Hillerbrand+Magsamen’s Gift Shop exhibition features consumer items and memorabilia from their Higher Ground project, which plays with a contemporary fairy tale of a suburban family flies off into space with a rocket ship built in their back yard from items scavenged from their home. Their imagery connects within larger systems including architecture, exhibition design, books, film and merchandising that examine consumer culture, material prosperity and family identity.
