Housed in a box with blue tissue paper. ". Syrop''''''''s exhibit at Kuhlenschmidt-Simon Gallery, an in…stallation called "A Plied Art," pushed these concepts one step further. Syrop revamped the gallery space as a sort of museum shop-public relations presentation. Hand-painted photo murals, decals, imprinted soap, sponges, and bumper stickers were all part of a broad linguistic sales pitch, cleverly blurring any distinction between the merchandising of art and the art of merchandising. For example, gallery owners and artist alike were promoted through business cards advertising "Situational Adjustment Via Linguistic Enhancement."
