Penelope Umbrico's Craigslist Project:

For Sale/TVs From Craigslist, are images of the screens of TVs for sale on Craigslist. With hints of the seller's interior space reflected in them, they offer inadvertent glimpses of intimacy and function as self-portraits of the sellers (the camera's flash announcing the seller's presence in the image). Pictured here printed to scale (each framed c-print ranging in size from 8" x 10" to 16" x 20" - with an overall installation dimension of approx. 7' x 12'), Penelope Umbrico will also put them back onto Criagslist as "TVs for sale" (this will be the first edition, sold for the price of the tv that the image came from).

As a kind of public art "TVs From Craigslist" utilizes the public domain both for its content and its context. The work addresses issues of exchange: how differently a piece works on the internet than it does in real time/space, and what happens to the perceived value of a work, and its meaning, when it is transcribed from web-based media to print-based media, and visa-versa. The juxtaposition of the art market with a consumer market (connoisseurism with consumerism) engages an unsuspecting consumer public and asks it to consider the value of an art object (made from its own visual vocabulary) as worthy of their attention as the consumer object they hope to acquire.
