Shop and Dwelling (SaD) is a studio and home with storefront visibility on Brunswick Street in North Fitzroy, Melbourne/Naarm. A place for ‘work’ to be displayed to the public, SaD also represents a project that aims to push the creative potential of what working in a shop can be, with particular focus on contemporary modes of publishing, distribution, labour and production and what their alternatives could be.

Shown is the documentation of the catalogue for SaD’s Grand Opening. The event was centred around a collaboration with Articles of Clothing, which aimed to investigate the performative nature of work through a utility vest.
