A Tragicomic Ode to the Foreverness of Plastic.
The Plastic Bag Store is a public art installation and immersive film experience by Brooklyn-based artist Robin Frohardt that uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of single-use plastics. The shelves are stocked with thousands of original, hand-sculpted items — produce and meat, dry goods and toiletries, cakes and sushi rolls — all made from discarded, single-use plastics in an endless cacophony of packaging.
The Plastic Bag Store has an estimated run time of 60 minutes.
TICKETS ARE $25 ADULTS / $20 YOUTH (6-16 YEARS) AND MUST BE PURCHASED ON THE MASS MOCA WEBSITE; CHECK THEIR WEBSITE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE DATES AND TIMES; ADVANCE RESERVATIONS REQUIRED
