Walter Benjamin, the tote bag
Express your love of the multiple with a Walter Benjamin tote from the Phily based artists co-operative, Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. I’m not sure what it means to adopt a marxist philosopher as your business model but they sure do make cool t-shirts. As they describe their philosophy:
Art In The Age of Mechanical Reproduction firmly believes in empowering artists producing high quality work marked by fine craft and intellectual rigor. We do so by applying the fruits of such labors to the cultural forms of everyday life, granting those who wish to engage the opportunity to do so in his/her own environment. Rather than exist at a distance in the white cube of the gallery space, we weave our offerings into the collective surface of myriad personal contexts. In this troubling epoch of industrial commodification, standardization of reproduction, and fomentation of a society of shallow spectacle, Art In The Age issues a challenge and rally cry. We fight fire with fire, subsuming the onslaught of watered down facsimiles and inaccessible displays with thought-provoking products of real cultural capital.
If Benjamin was a art hipster you could rest assured he would shop and submit designs to these folks. The site recently underwent a redesign, making the site more user friendly, complete with a bio of Benjamin.
