Feeling the pinch? Go shoplifting! The Bristol art project tackling the cost of living crisis

From a glitzy debt gala' to a considerations about whether stealing is in fact a radical act of commoning', artist Rachael Clerke's Transactionland aims to lift the lid on economics

It's unusual to find a shop that encourages shoplifting. In Bristol, a new store goes further, providing an outfit for the purpose that includes a coat with extra inside pockets and a scarf with pouches for penny sweets.

Rachael Clerke would not survive long as a real shopkeeper. But as the artist behind Transactionland, an experimental series of events at a Bristol community centre, she is more interested in sparking debate than turning a profit.

Transactionland is at St Anne's House, Bristol, until 20 March.
