Hamja Ahsan Cap - Black (Final Fried Chicken) - lumbung Kios

Final Fried Chicken (black cap & T-shirt) is part of Hamja Ahsan’s fictional Halal Fried Chicken franchises, originally exhibited around Kassel city for the duration of Documenta 15. The shop lightbox was originally exhibited in the lower floor of Museum of Death cultures (Sepulchral Museum Kassel) - as a compliment the funeral and death ceremony exhibits of the world's only museum dedicated to death during Documenta. The LED text "America’s No 1. Choice for death row … Final Fried Chicken... Family Funeral Size bucket … Final Fried Chicken. A taste good enough for Martyrdom … … Fried Chicken until your heart stops beating …Welcome to your Final Destination for Fried Chicken" The work satirises the ubiquity and endless growth of Chicken shops within London and urban centres globally.

Lumbung Kios are exhibiting in Economics the Blockbuster as part of Manchester International Festival. They are a global network of artists forging a self-driven, sustainable economic model for selling their work, and provide merchandise with a purpose.
