Concept: a
commentary on the reification of Munch as national icon and brand.
Synopsis: A
selection of Munch merchandise from the museum shop was pinned to the inside of
a double-breasted vintage jacket. While wearing a mask cast* from the bust of
Edvard Munch on Munch’s grave together with a complete set of Edwardian
clothing, an attempt to sell the merchandise was made by displaying it to individual
members of the audience in the manner of an illegal street trader; by opening
the jacket and spreading it to reveal the merchandise while extolling the
attractiveness of the articles and their prices.
