Alice Hope Installation
Alice Hope’s “Priceless,” the Southampton Arts Center’s first Storefront Art Project, is on view in a storefront at 8 Job’s Lane that once housed the store Chico's. It will remain there for six months or until a new tenant takes the space. The series was inspired by the Village of Southampton’s new legislation requiring window displays in vacant stores.
Ms. Hope’s window installation consists of accordioned chromed coat hangers, paper price tags, and strung can tabs that are activated by air movement. Her intention is “to transform tens of thousands of blank price tags, a vast population of ephemera, into evanescence,” said the artist, who is known for her large-scale installations that incorporate the repetition of mundane or industrial materials.
