The Plastic Bag Store is an art installation and immersive film by Brooklyn-based artist Robin Frohardt that brings humor, craft, and a critical lens to our culture of consumption and convenience—specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.
One-hour performances will run multiple times per day Wednesdays through Sundays at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar.
Inside The Plastic Bag Store, deli meats, fresh produce, multi-layered cakes, sushi rolls, frozen foods, boxed cereal, and more have all been meticulously sculpted by hand, made from discarded single-use plastics. During each one-hour performance, the store comes to life as a micro-cinema where the hidden worlds of Frohardt's ingenious puppetry unfold in a 45-minute, three-act film. The story explores the notion of artifact, misplaced nostalgia and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy. Presented in partnership with the Fusebox Festival..
