Stop Shopping Roadshow

2003
A short, sharp travelling intervention featuring UK and USA performance artists and anti-shoppers who interrupted the usual patterns of consumption.

The core team included representatives from:

Whirl -Mart
Retroactive Logo Distribution
Conglomco
My Dads Strip Club
Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping
How and Why
Richard Dedomenici
The Vacuum Cleaner
 
They were joined by guest artists and anti-shoppers en route

Owen Gaffney

The tour was supported by:

Not forgetting the artists themselves and the support from many individuals who provided documentation, accomodation, transport, etc. etc.....
