︎IT TAKES A COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS

︎TO CHANGE HOW WE COLLECT THE WORLD







STRIPMALL


Sofia Peterson’s art direction and branding senior thesis analyzes modern American consumerism in the art world through a contemporary lens of “sustainable consumption”.  

Through hosting and branding small art markets, I analyzes how individuals select and value items with no inherent “use”; items that are sentimental and designed to serve a intellectual purpose.

︎ABOUT STRIPMALL



Researching micro-ecosystem of artist based events and the objects circulated within the communites recorded have resulted in a verity of graphic and physical material, including the STRIPMALL
objects, zine, brand, and events.

This thesis concluded in a archive collection of contemporary objects made by both Pratt students and artists working in NYC and Chicago.

This thesis ultimately stands as a record of modern consumerism in the art community, and can be applied to larger examples of consumerist culture in corporate settings, particularly in the advertising and marketing sector.
