The aim of this book is to properly lend focus and a visual base to the series of Volksboutique projects Christine Hill has made over the past 10 years, including "Piolte, Products, Vendible, Tourguide, The Reference Library and the "Handbag. She has come to refer to these as 'Organizational Ventures', a term which gives shape to the real art making tools in use: coordination, organization, presentation. The book displays the cumulative nature of Hill's projects and collects a number of texts and reference images that are vital to the work. The structure of the book traces Christine Hill's offices in Binghamton, Baltimore, Berlin and New York. The design reflects properties that have been present in many Volksboutique projects. The book serves as an archive of projects, and a visual hope chest that contains them.
