Eleni Papazoglou

Products & Services is a poetic catalogue of the visual language(s) surrounding commodities. Through a series visual works, texts, and a hoard of found objects, the publication explores how value is held: by dusty packaging, bootleg logos, misspelt slogans, global display systems and localised notions of worth.

By applying frivolity as a method for questioning value systems, the publication churns commercial with art objects, forges ubiquity through the handmade, and swirls in the long string of small social interactions that make nothing into something in a world that seems to sell everything.

Products & Services stems from Eleni Papazoglou’s (my!) visual investigations presented alongside the written contributions: Friendly Exchanges by Lucy Cowling, Bag and Bootleg by Elaine M L Tam and The Artist & The Shopping Centre by Lisa Sudhibhasilp, The Commodity & the Exhibition by Joshua Simon. Edited by Daniel Fletcher. Published by Foolscap Editions.
