What I Need & What I Don’t Need

In the midst of changing attitudes toward ownership and consumption, the draw/photograph-everything-I-own/buy thing has been a popular project among artists recently. Kate Bingaman Burt‘s book chronicling everything she buys, Obsessive Consumption, is probably the best known. Berlin based Lisa von Billerbeck has her own take, the most beautifully done and perfectly understated collection of objects yet. It’s captioned simply, “Started to draw everything i own to figure out what i need and what i dont need.”

Buy Nothing Day 2010

11.13.2010 | by | 3 Comments

While consumers storm the malls and hopelessly scurry to try find a cure for their affluenza, on November 26th, appropriately known as Black Friday, people around the globe will leave their wallets at home and collectively won’t make a single purchase. Let’s throw capitalism off balance, be it only for a day or two.

We are throwing another Neighborhood Exchange at Kensington Park this year and we want you join us. Bring records, clothes, books, tools anything cool or useful that you think might serve as a good trade. Bring food to share and stories to tell. We can just enjoy being humans together in the park. Sound good? Tell your friends and your friends friends. Get on your bike, ride over to the park, I’ll bring the Frisbee. Done and done.

Last year’s event was awesome and we made some great new friends… let’s see if we can double it this year.

Here’s a link to the Facebook event and for those who don’t do facebook we’ve also created a Meetup group through Adbusters right here.

Spread the word…
