Zachary Cahill - USSA 2012: the People's Palace's Gift Shop August 18, 2012

This Chicago artist has created a site-specific installation that combines actual tourist memorabilia with the artist's simulated gift objects, all thematically related to the bear, as in Soviet symbols (Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's name, translating to "bear"); sports (Chicago Bears and other team mascots); and other iterations.
