Examines the influence of affluence over the last 25 years, illustrating the globalization of materialism, celebrity culture and social status. Explores how “keeping up with the Joneses” has become Keeping Up with the Kardashians, magnifying the aspirational gap between what we want and what we can afford. The exhibit is not about the rich, but the pervasive desire for more.
