| Elements
of the The Stray Shopping Cart Project have appeared in print in
a number of different ways. I make a distinction between pieces that
are in the conceptual "voice" of
the project and those that are about the project, exhibition catalogues,
etc. The following five pieces are examples of the former. The poster,
containing a condensed version of the System, does straddle both
categories as it includes installation shots and an essay. The book
(below), The
Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification, represents
the most complete conceptual manifestation of the project. |
