The Whole Sell is an online publication that features projects by over 30 artists. The website reinvents the late-sixties Whole Earth Catalog as an e-commerce site, experimenting with ideas of “value” in artistic production and distribution.
Current participating artists: alex cruse, Alexandra Neuman, Angelica Falkeling, Betelhem Makonnen, Chester Vincent Toye, Dina Kelberman, Don Edler, Eileen Isagon Skyers, Felix Kalmenson, Harriet Foyster, Hea-Mi Kim, Hiba Ali, Ida Falck Øien, Imin Yeh, Ina-Maria Shikongo, Ji Soo Chung, Job Sánchez, Johanna Zanon & Emmanuelle Polle, Kristin McWharter, Laura Hyunjhee Kim, laura stinger, Maru Garcia, Mia Melvær, Mookyung Sohn, Natalee Decker, Nina Sarnelle, Paul Pescador, Sara Drake, Vika Kirchenbauer, and Yoojin Lee.
The Whole Sell developed from PRAKSIS's 16th residency Live or Buy: an examination of consumer culture’s environmental and social impacts and a re-envisioning of ecologies of consumption. Developed with Nina Sarnelle, Ida Falck Øien and fashion label HAiKw/, the residency began in Oslo in March 2020 before moving online in response to COVID 19.
Design and construction of The Whole Sell was possible thanks to generous voluntary work by programmer Joar Glosvik & artist Nina Sarnelle.
