Kenny Pittock had an piece at the NGA called 52 Shopping lists found while working at a supermarket. I stumbled across the exhibition whilst I was living in Melbourne, almost exactly two years ago. I remember the discovery being like catnip given my continuing obsession with Ephemera.
My friend Jess just reminded me of this exhibition so I went back to look it up. Here’s what I missed despite seeing it in-person:
Each sculpture is hand sculpted from earthenware clay and kiln fired.
These aren’t just notes picked up from the supermarket floor. These are earthenware clay recreations.
