August 2009 - April 2010The Gift Shop was a series of projects initiated and developed by Seattle artist Matthew Offenbacher which turned the Henry Art Gallery’s abandoned museum store into an autonomous, artist-powered, alternative exhibition space. Goals included: involving a diverse and interesting group of artists; developing means and methods which acknowledge the contingent nature of this particular site; generating new understandings of what an exhibition can be; and enjoying the pleasure and energy generated by working together.DOCUMENTSEMAILTumblr (3.0; @gift-shop)http://gift-shop.tumblr.com/<p><a href="http://gift-shop.tumblr.com/page/13"> <img alt="#1" src="http://helloari.com/~matt/gs/kick-joe-sits.jpg" width="400"/></a></p> <p><strong>#1</strong><br/><em>I know I know Jenny and Joe</em><br/><strong>JENNY ZWICK</strong> and <strong>JOE PARK</strong><br/> October 23 - November 14, 2009</p> <hr><p><a href="http://gift-shop.tumblr.com/page/10"> <img alt="#2" src="http://helloari.com/~matt/gs/presents1.jpg" width="400"/></a></p> <p><strong>#2</strong><br/><em>The Gift Shop Presents: Presents</em><br/><strong>SOL HASHEMI</strong>, <strong>JASON HIRATA</strong> and <strong>CLAIRE COWIE</strong> <br/>November 20 - December 13, 2009</p> <hr><p><a href="http://gift-shop.tumblr.com/page/8"> <img alt="#3" src="http://www.helloari.com/~matt/gs/atlas_invite.jpg" width="400"/></a></p> <p><strong>#3</strong><br/><em>The Atlas of Gifted Ideas</em><br/>Damali Abrams, Gretchen Bennett, Buddy Bunting, Jennifer Combe, Kate Costello, Claire Cowie, Simona Denicolai &amp; Ivo Provoost, Carola Deye, Dahlia Elsayed, Richard Gleaves, Michelle Hagewood, Elizabeth Haines, Alfred Harris, Jenny Heishman, Benno Hinkes, Naotaka Hiro, Allison Hrabluik, Barbora Klímová, Leora Lutz, Sid M.
