6 - 9pm, Thursday 17th Oct
Opening
Velorose x Plinth Collection
55 years on from Warhol‘s ‘American Supermarket’, and inspired by Duchamp‘s assertion that art is a commodity (and that a commodity can be art), Velorose and Plinth have teamed up to co-curate an exhibition of multiples and individual works, Shop Art!
Against a musical backdrop (The Pet Shop Boys’ PopArt), immerse yourself in this A/W 2019 collection, browse and acquire. Unexpected juxtapositions and the surprisingly familiar present themselves in this fascinating investigation of a taboo of the art world (Art = Money), and - naturally - all artworks are for sale.
Don’t miss out on an ever-changing selection of artworks by Banksy, Julian Opie, Bella Freud, Fiona Banner, Gillian Wearing, Yoshitomo Nara and others. Why Exit Through the Gift Shop when Velorose and Plinth are exhibiting in a gift shop, and you can shop in an exhibition?
