Site-specific installation at Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, Massachusetts

Amidst the oversized hand-painted announcements for laundry detergent, apple juice, and sopa de res, a handful of surprises are also on sale, evoking questions of subversion, gentrification, and the shortcomings of the American Dream. Situated on an urban college campus with a laundromat directly across the street, the installation also points to the structures of monetary exchange that characterize American public space. This work served as a precursor to La bodega de mis sueños, a semi-permanent installation in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
