This Saturday 17 October, Atlanta artists Ben Roosevelt and Stan Woodard
\nare making an intervention into 7 For All Mankind’s Lenox Square Mall
\nstore.  Drawing and commenting on the commercial and sensory elements
\nof the ‘mall experience,’ the artists are creating new works which
\nseek
\nto quietly infiltrate the world of the shopper.<\/p>\n

Ben Roosevelt has created a new set of images based on surveillance
\n photos in Lenox Square itself.  In a limited edition of modified
\n 7 For
\n All Mankind bags, Roosevelt has altered them with scenes of innocuous
\n spaces and objects, turning the unnoticed and in-between parts of the
\n mall into iconic stencil-like images.  Hidden throughout the store,
\n for customers to discover as they browse, are further images of fellow
\n mall-goers, captured in various states of wandering, looking, and
\n consuming.  As with the rest of Roosevelt’s practice, his
\n work here
\n enacts a revealing reversal, by making a bold iconography out of the
\n mundane and interstitial.<\/p>\n

Stan Woodard creates a […] paradox,
\n […] and more directly confronts the commercial context of the exhibition.  Woodard
\n presents a line of faux-jewelry and home accessories which are well
\n suited for their surroundings.  These are labeled and productized,
\n but his merchandise is rusty nails, battered metal discs, and hunks
\n of concrete. Woodard
\n attempts a wry double-take, commenting on the process of commodification
\n – whether in ‘life’ or ‘art’- that directly
\n involves both the artist and the viewer, where discarded, forgotten,
\n non-art materials can be presented as crafted artifacts and enter into
\n the commercial sphere.<\/font><\/p>\n
