WHAT IS THE SALE SIGN PROJECT?
The SALE SIGN project is a series of handmade signs meant to promote the practice of community economy principals and resource sharing and redistribution, while questioning the consumption-based values that pervade our communities.
108 signs are posted in relation the 108 St. Louis city parks -- camouflaging into the urban landscape and creating surprising discoveries among the commonplace intersections of the city.
This website was created to document each sign and provide further resources for people to explore ideas related to building a Solidarity Economy or one centered in our interdependence with other humans, other species, and our environment.
To learn more about these ideas, visit our PARTICIPATE page.
WHERE DID THE SALE SIGN PROJECT COME FROM?
The SALE SIGN project was started by artist Jenny Murphy.
Jenny proposes sustainable, educational, whimsical, and thought-provoking solutions to the negative effects of mass consumption on our environment and our communities through a broad artistic practice that encompasses community arts, interactive installations, sculpture, and design.
Jenny is excited to see how this project continues to grow, change, and make an impact with the help of people like you!
