Cerrado y Cuidado (CDMX), 2019

Public engagement / intervention. Mexico City, 2019.

The public was invited to covertly install Caution and Closed signs on stores of neo-colonial capitalism: banks, major corporate buildings, fast food restaurants, and big box stores found on the major shopping street Avenida Francisco Madero in Mexico City. The believable signage is provocative, humorous, and critical, announcing the stores are closed due to “Corporate Hegemony”, “Worker Exploitation”, or “Moral Bankruptcy”. Passers by engaged in conversation and many participated. The signs were still up several hours after the event.

“Caution! Exploitation of the Workers” “Caution! Capitalist Trash” “We’re Sorry, Closed due to Corporate Hegemony” We’re Sorry, Closed because of Worker Exploitation”
