Park Products
Park Products, devised together with Andreas Lang, was a two-phased project to make connections between different social, cultural, and material resources in and around Kensington Gardens, a Royal Park, and to extend the concept and realm of cultural production and distribution of the Serpentine
Gallery, located in the park.
In phase one, different user groups collaboratively developed a series of park-related products that revealed less-known and invisible aspects of using and running Kensington Gardens. The products were later presented and traded from a mobile stall in the park, using non-monetary currencies for barter and purchase.
Commissioned by Sally Tallant.
