Initial Public Offering: New Works from SJMA’s Permanent Collection (2014)

Stephanie Syjuco works primarily in sculpture and installations that blur the boundaries between art and commerce, inspiration and production, creation and distribution. Syjuco playfully leverages open-source systems and shareware logic to question the fraught ideals of capitalism as expressed in the production and distribution of everyday items. Her initiatives include a global collaborative project with crochet crafters to counterfeit high-end consumer goods; and parasitic counterfeiting events and alternative vending outlets to explore the ways in which artists navigate the production, consumption, and dissemination of their work.

Syjuco created The International Orange Commemorative Store (A Proposition) for International Orange, an exhibition first installed on the second floor of Fort Point, San Francisco, in 2012. The installation consisted of souvenir shop merchandise—postcards, pens, cups, vases, chairs, aprons, napkins, pillows, etc.—saturated in the orange hue of the Golden Gate Bridge. Visitors were invited to take home a free postcard to serve as a reminder that there are many experiences money cannot buy.
