Nedko Solakov
The Street
30 Mar - 18 May 2008
To launch the Whitechapel’s project, The Street, Solakov offers one lucky winner a unique, specially created artwork (see top image). To enter this year-long lottery, an item worth at least £5 must be purchased from Petticoat Lane Market. This item is then deposited at the project’s headquarters - The Shop, in Toynbee Street - along with the purchaser’s contact details. At the end of the year, a trader picks a winner from the accumulated archive.
Playing with traditions of commerce and exchange, Solakov simultaneously entwines and explores the economies of a street market and the art market.
