DESCRIPTION:Alexa\nGrunerstrasse 20\n10179  Berlin\n\n\nBag Lady is a perfo
 rmance that will take place in the large\, new Alexa shopping mall at Alexa
 nderplatz. It was realized for the first time in the Arkaden shopping mall 
 on Potsdamer Platz in 2006 for the duration of one week\; the artist’s bo
 ok Bag Lady\, published in 2007\, is based on this performance. A neatly dr
 essed woman will appear\, carrying a lot of cash in a transparent plastic b
 ag. Behaving like a perfect customer while doing something completely “wr
 ong\,” Bag Lady is both a security threat and a subject of protection. Ex
 isting in both roles but fitting in neither\, she challenges the pleasant a
 nd secure shopping atmosphere of the mall\, especially the people responsib
 le for maintaining it. This slight intervention sheds controversial light o
 n the fragility of the social order\, where private property in the form of
  money or a consumer product is of such supreme value that it is under cons
 tant intuitive public control. The Finnish artist Pilvi Takala was born in 
 1981 and lives and works in Amsterdam (NL) and Istanbul (TR).\n\n
