Burgers 2 or Near Equivalent. Temporary Contemporary, May 2005
For Burgers 2 or Near Equivalent burgers were served at a weekend fleamarket event at Temporary Contemporary. Burgers could be purchased for 2, or exchanged for other items that fleamarket vendors or visitors had with them. The only conditions were that the hamburger vendor needed to want the item, and the purchaser had to be prepared to part with it in exchange for a hamburger. Hamburger ingredients and exchanged items were displayed on a shelving unit and often an item, once on display, was exchanged or purchased again by a visitor. The cabinet thus functioned as the site of a micro economy within the confines of a market and over the day the hamburger ingredients were replaced with a range of books, souvenirs, CD’s drawings, food and clothing that included The KLF Burn a Million Quid, the signboard from the late Museum of Mankind and a handmade wooden drill bit set.
