One in a million: Economies of the self in everyday urban life
2004
The innumerable conversations among the participants of "One in a Million" were fueled by the desire to mediate not just one, but a variety of artistic practices that function at the interface of art and urban economies. Self-reflective of their own position as artists, producers and consumers, they use their occupation with the economies of the self as the complex issue. Their heterogeneous artistic approaches take hold from within as well as outside the system, using a mixture of investigative, performative, and premediated strategies. "One in a Million" unfolds as a succession of stories between individualism and urbanism, urbanism and economy, economy and lifestyle, lifestyle and brands, brands and fashion, and fashion and individualism that in the end returns to the beginning.
