THE MEOW, LOS ANGELES The Meow is a shed in the backyard of the Los Angeles home belonging to artists Lisa Anne Auerbach and Joel Kyack. Over the past year and a half, Auerbach and Kyack have invited independent, artist-run businesses, including a tattoo parlor and a psychic, to temporarily set up shop at the Meow, rent-free, to provide goods and services to a public made up of friends, neighbors, and strangers.
The third artist-run business to occupy the Meow--a gallery run by artists Lisa Anne Auerbach and Joel Kyack that hosts small businesses as exhibitions in a roughly nine-by-eleven-foot shed--Decker's Sillishop opened on Black Friday and ran through Boxing Day, during which time shelves were continually restocked as customers purchased the tiny found sculptures.
