Lucy Sparrow’s 8 ‘Till Late at The Standard, High Line - #1

British artist Lucy Sparrow is paying homage to the classic NYC bodega with an art installation in The Standard, High Line called “8 Till Late.” Her life-size replica of a corner convenience store features over 9,000 items handmade out of felt. The products, which include boxes of Lucky Charms, SPAM, bug spray, Advil, Ruffles potato chips, and mildly anthropomorphic meat, are all for sale, both in person and through Sparrow’s website. It’s just like a real bodega, but softer and infinitely more precious. And yes, of course there is a felt bodega cat chilling near the felt fridge stocked with felt ice cream.
