This is contemporary artist Lucy Sparrow’s sixth installation in her felt shop series, Delicatessen on 6th, located at the Rockefeller Center. Despite the items being made of felt, they are still available for purchase, which is a surprise.
Located on the corner of 49th street and 6th avenue, Lucy Sparrow‘s Delicatessen on 6th is a fully functioning retail experience mimicking an upscale deli, all in felt, where all items are available for purchase. The site-specific, interactive installation, which opened yesterday, October 1, 2019, invites customers into a parallel universe where hand-stitched, bejeweled artworks in the form of cheese, fish, seafood, and other fine food produce take center stage. Most of the items are adorned with tiny eyes and smiles, encouraging the viewer to examine their relationship with the food they purchase and to consider their own thoughts about consumerism.
