Where is oregano, with her gentle paws, lingering like flapdashes upon my breast (of chicken)? Oh heaven, why must my salad go alone and plain into the cold cold night? Bah!

Many of the items exhibited invited interaction. One shopping cart depicted politician’s pictures next to brand names—former President Bill Clinton as Charmin, former presidential candidate Bob Dole on a white meat-only can of chicken soup and President Bush smiling patronizingly from a bag of Cheez-its. This accessible medium broke down traditional barriers between the display and spectators, delivering a message with more immediacy than a museum piece could...
