6/Daily Convenience Store – Cash Only*

The Plug

Finished

Artists

Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, Oliver Sundqvist

This exhibition presents a "supermarket of artwork" in installation format. Various objects, ranging from everyday items like clotheslines to haute couture dresses, will be reconstructed into three-dimensional artworks using paper mache, acrylic, and lacquer, and displayed for sale. The prices of the artworks reflect their current market value, resulting in a wide price range from thousands to tens of thousands of yen. Visitors can purchase artwork and take it home immediately, providing a daily shopping experience akin to buying items at a convenience store. "6/Daily Convenience Store – Cash Only*" will open with all stock available and will be periodically replenished as long as inventory lasts during the exhibition period. A total of 74 artworks will be displayed over six days, with no reservations allowed, and sales will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additionally, the artwork will be posted via the Instagram account @offliccense_cashonly. Digitally, it expresses the possibility of distortion in the perception of size, scale, and color compared to the actual items, highlighting the potential for misunderstanding when shopping online.
