Contemporary Art from the Grocery Aisles
Contemporary Art from the Grocery Aisles. Shopping carts, candy wrappers, grocery lists, paper bags, milk bottles, and cereal boxes - these ordinary, often overlooked items, emerge as objects for artistic investigation in Stocked: Contemporary Art from the Grocery Aisles. This exhibition presents the work of contemporary artists who take the grocery store and consumption of its products as their subjects. Using strategies culled from minimalism, performance, documentary photography, and scientific taxonomy, they keenly and cleverly interrogate not only the grocery items we purchase, but also the physical and psychological environments in which we shop, the individuals and social frameworks we encounter there, and the cultural norms that inform our habits of consumption. This exhibition will be accompanied by a scholarly catalogue and goes on national tour following its Ulrich debut.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.
