A bit more about it and some images of work in progress.
Who?
Rhiannon Gilmore (nee Silver) is a UK based artist concerned
with the space between things - things that relate to each other in some
way.
She explores this concern through making, curation and
blogging. She is the creator and author of the image blog Intelligent
Clashing and exhibits internationally.
What?
Dream Shop
In response to Rolu's request to contribute something to Attention as Place Rhiannon Gilmore wrote:
"What I really want is my own shop. Will you make me one?
If
we really are wherever our attention is then I'm in my shop and it's
stocked with things made by all the amazing people I've met online.
It
would somehow feel right if my shop existed too far away for me to
visit - just like it does now (being only in thought) it would be mine
and never mine.
If you build it, I'll stock it."The shop acts
not only as a sculptural realisation of Gilmore's desires but behaves
as a snap-shot of a current community of artists/makers/designers who
operate and communicate online.

Oh I do wish I could go, it looks good and I'm grateful for the internet and all the like minded and creative people I have the opportunity "to meet" through it.
I hope to meet in person more of you in occasion of the pop up I'm organising with the help of few friends in London, save the date 22-23 of September during the Design Week of London.
