Michael Wang, Rivals

You might describe Wang's installation as a shopping mall of corporate capitalism. A series of shelves filled with consumer goods creates a face-off between competing products (e.g., Coke versus Pepsi; Nike versus Addidas). They’re for sale, and if purchased, Wang will be paid in shares from the relevant company's stock—upwardly valuing the items, as it were, through the mechanism of the art market before investing the profits back into the concerns that created them.
