a fake restaurant that serves emotions, instead of food. A very similar concept to my 'get emotional collection. The idea of a 'spoof' to sell something that isn't to be sold is an idea influenced by the shed at Dulwich.
Within my 'get emotional collection' the customer will be given the opportunity to purchase their emotions through garments.
running as a serving restaurant, my brand will ultimately be mimicking a running clothing brand, alternatively.

Gasworks presents The Craft, the first UK solo exhibition by Monira Al Qadiri.
The exhibition comprises sculptures, videos and sound works that envisage international diplomacy as an alien conspiracy. Shown in two distinct environments – a mysterious, pitch black anteroom and an American diner – these semi-autobiographical works of science fiction unearth the unlikely stories lurking in the shadows of the artist’s childhood in Kuwait. Revisiting the fantasies that she and her sister elaborated during these early years, they depict the culture and rituals of diplomacy by which they were then surrounded as literally otherworldly to the current rise of nationalism and political populism. Pouring petrol on the flames, the central work in the exhibition, the VHS video The Craft, asks: “Were my parents conspiring with aliens behind my back?” Reality crumbles, paranoia and speculation take hold. Pop culture, futuristic architecture, junk food, dream readings, alien abductions, geopolitics, diplomacy, war and peace: all of these once solid staples of modern life become tainted by a general sense of distrust, which overshadows everything. Like a ticking time bomb placed at the centre of the nuclear family unit, suspicion reaches a crescendo when the protagonist discovers that the ‘American Century’ has finally ended.
Response:
my work could include more humour, gaining influence from these two artists
should I create a new collection?
focused more on consumerism directly instead of subtly trying to influence viewers.
