View the majesty of Edith Abeyta’s Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe, a multi-artist, unicorn themed, collaboration/installation that was initially installed in Edith’s studio earlier this year, and which gallery assistant Michele Hubacek helped me knock out quick, as Edith is on her way to Thailand, where I will be joining her shortly, to install a show that we’re in.
I am perpetually moved by Edith’s manipulation of retail space and concepts as installation art. I have this fantasy where she gets a museum show, in their gift shop. There’s something crafty and slighly evil about Edith’s approrpiation of mundane/profane space for her art needs. Objects in the shoppe range from candy cigarettes and other bulk snacks to multiples by Edith Abeyta, Matty M. Cipov, Kissing Candy, Merry-Beth Noble, Camilla Stacey and Sublime Stitching. The Sweet Shoppe’s logo was designed by Jason Lucas.
You can get a head start on enjoying the Sweet Shoppe’s delights with this downloadable Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe Activity Statement. Or you can wait until Sunday and get your sugar rush on, at the opening of New In Town? Studio Artists 2007-2008.

OOh it looks so lovely- do you have any other photos?
There will be detail photos of the installation on the AGCC Flickr before the close of the show. I have other images from the original installation that I need to upload, too. I’ve got a bit of a backlog going.
