Featuring work by Justine Aubrite, Jim Feng, Ala Flora, Simon Hanselmann, Lawrence ‘Raw Dog’ Hubbard, Kiki Jiao, Castell Lanko, and Charlotte-Maëva Perret, the show took its premise of market-driven brand power through the phenomena of the knock-offs and fakes populating commercial stands. As the press text notes: “bootlegging suggests a poetic disregard for the norms of status-enforcing systems, negotiating class differences by adapting media and materials in inventive ways that resist the use value of the original, and using capital to do things it wasn’t designed to do.” Other contributing artists include Lydia Mathis, Alex Rathbone, Sheiko Reito, Jaqueline Ruther aka Mizucat, Dave Sayre, Ruini Shi, Jack Stevenson, Ray Tat, Twee Whistler, Jyn Wye and Youada.**
