This is one of the carts I will be using in Three Shopping Cart Situations, my soon-to-be-built shopping cart installation at Socrates Sculpture Park. I love this specimen, it's an amazing object by any measure. Even though I have created a set of terms to describe shopping carts, when I look at profoundly wrecked carts like this one I always think of the phrase "Fantastic Damage" which is the title of Definitive Jux founder El-P's 2002 album. I wish I had thought of it first.
