Market Fatigue- Couple in Bed Due to Credit Employment Exhaustion & Sit/Lie Protest YBuena

CAPITALISM IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT

at Yerba Buena Gardens: Market Fatigue (Dan and Cheryl) Dan Spencer and Cheryl Meeker lie in bed in public due to credit and employment exhaustion, and to protest the proposed sit/lie law.

DAN & CHERYL (Dan Spencer & Cheryl Meeker):
The art team Dan and Cheryl™ have been working together since 2004. Having done collaborative works under Stretcher’s exhibitions at Southern Exposure in The Way We Work, and in Bay Area Now 4 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Dan and Cheryl now collaborate on two works for CIO – the Summer of Tough Love.

Dan and Cheryl /Market Fatigue. Staying in bed because they have run to the end of their credit limits and are exhausted by looking for jobs, Dan and Cheryl protest the proposed sit-lie law by taking to bed in the financial and shopping districts of San Francisco.

Dan and Cheryl / online gallery of bumper stickers for CIO. Inspired by the also-ran header designed by Andy Cox for the Capitalism Is Over If You Want It website, Dan and Cheryl decided to make Andy’s design into a bumper sticker. The poignancy of a radically un-PC format like a bumper sticker in a fossil fool’s world suggested the romance and implausibility of the quixotic task of curating an on-line gallery of bumper stickers appropriate to the Summer of Tough Love.
