Timed to coincide with the final stages of the American presidential elections, this international exhibition presents a range of works that reflect on some of the desires generated and satisfied by democracy—such as choice, participation, freedom of expression, a sense of belonging and the promise of individual success—and asks whether these values have become associated with the idea of democracy the way a consumer brand acquires value. Hosted by Parsons The New School for Design, the exhibition brings together practitioners in the hybrid field of art and design who use a variety of media, ranging from video to photography, from performance to sound, from sculptures to information mapping, to critically examine democracy as a site of branding.
