Volksboutique Small Business

Christine Hill started the Volksboutique in Berlin in the early ‘90s as an informal space for welcoming, serving tea, trading cheap clothes and discussing everything from the weather to identity politics. Volksboutique was later extended as a concept and space and started to exists as franchises in different places, such as Documenta X in Kassel. Christine is now running a weekly Volksboutique Small Business in the front space of her studio in Berlin, where production meets value negotiations, proprietor and buyer meet across the counter, and wheeling and dealing is practiced. Slogan posters on the wall set a critical tone and suggest new rules of conduct and reversable roles and relations.
