Much like a culture twister, TFX will come and nine days later it will go, only to resurface somewhere else and under a different guise. Original Art priced at supermarket levels is an alternative to buying repro prints and posters of old masters or the famous in the "art world".This show aims to present this idea in a familiar commercial atmosphere, the supermarket, complete with supermarket signs and sounds.The art supermarket will be a parody of this consumerist age by packaging small artwork in much the same way as supermarket products are packaged.
