Programme
Transactionland Middlesbrough Arts Week
24-27 September
& 2-3 October
Call in at Transactionland, a thoroughly unusual high-street retail emporium. From Wednesday 22nd ‘til Friday 31st July, Transactionland will be open for a bit of browsing and a spot of shoplifting at 11 Centre Mall, Cleveland Centre, Middlesbrough, TS1 2NR
Transactionland is a response to a collective fear of talking about the economy - both ‘The Economy’, and the many other economies small and large we interact with every day. It aims to be a brave space for exploring alternatives and having some tongue-in-cheek fun with Very Serious Stuff.
Hosted by artist-turned-shopkeeper Rachael Clerke, Transactionland rejects the idea that economics is not for the likes of you or me: why leave it to the men in suits to design the systems that rule our lives?
Transactionland invites you to shop 'til you drop alongside a packed programme of conversations, workshops, performances and more, with visiting artists working the tills.
Presented by Middlesbrough Art Week.
