Our very own beautiful and extraordinarily talented Vanda Daftari is currently exhibiting a localized presentation of one of her current projects 'Shop Drop Montreal'.
Along with her project partner Natalie Reis and a number of high profile Montreal artists and designers, stores in and around Montreal have been targeted in a bid to draw attention to consumer environments and objects.
Making art accessible, 'shop-dropper's' cover exisiting packaging with indivdual pieces of art. Consumers are able to purchase the products as usual and the art is theirs to do with it what they will.
Drawing attention to our mundane spaces and making them outstanding, distinctive and engaging, shop dropping is a stunning gift to our shared environments.
A huge thank you to Vanda and her team of shop dropping bandits for adding to Montreal's unique and creative surroundings, and helping us to think outside the ordinary.
You can see a display of the Shop Drop project at the infamous BNL exhibition at the Academie Bourget.
SNAP!

Hi,
Your article gives the desire to go to the exhibition but unfortunately the link to the facebook event page cuts it. For people, who are not on facebook, they do not have access to the information. So it becomes a FAIL. Something which is perceived not functional. From facebook environment to facebook, no issues, but from the public to facebook, it creates usability issues. :)
Thanks anyway for the lead.
