Collapsitalism: the holiday recession sale
In the Project Space at Johansson Projects

Opening Reception Saturday, November 15th 5 - 8 pm
Sale Runs from November 15th - January 2nd

Johansson Projects presents Collapsitalism: the holiday recession sale. The stock market like the art world is a prognosticator at the forward wave of change. One forecasts economies, the other forecasts imagination.

This exhibition is an attempt to connect art prices to stock market fluctuations beyond more visually interesting charts and indexes. Art is a spectacularly valuable commodity but is not immune from expansion and contractions. This, the economists assure us dourly, is now a full fledged recession. We at Johansson Projects are proud to offer our response to gloomy economics: eleven artists making their work available for less than 500 dollars each. We are trying to do our part to spur growth and job creation in this the critical holiday retail season. This show will offer new work by Northern California based emerging artists along with established artists.

Artists included are Zach Houston, Nathan Cordero, Hunter Longe, Eric Larson, Susie Grant, Carson Murdach, Joan Moment, Andrew Benson, Alex Case and more.
