Art from the Grocery Aisles
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art opens a new exhibition—Stocked: Contemporary Art From the Grocery Aisles. The contemporary artists use the grocery store and its multitude of products as subjects to examine our relationship with food production, distribution, marketing, and consumption. Curator Emily Stamey said, “Each of the artists prompts us to consider the common task of grocery shopping in a new light—to consider the beauty in ordinary packaging, the surreal qualities of some of the spaces in which we buy our food, and how extraordinary it is that we can buy summer fruits in December and winter vegetables in July.” 7380 E. Second St., Scottsdale. 480.874.4666 smoca.org
