The Plastic Bag Store Pops Up in LA

The Plastic Bag Store has arrived in LA. If you are like me and cringe when you arrive at the grocery store having forgotten your canvas bags or stare in dismay at the farmers market when those luscious ripe strawberries need protection then this sly pop up installation is for you. Robin Frohardt’s on-the-road store is more fun than her puppet film which is a bit too didactic but nevertheless makes its point: the future is grim if we don’t figure out how to get the stuff home without sheathing it in something indestructible that will haunt our children and theirs. Everything is made out of recycled plastic or paper. The copy is very clever.
