Time Out says

Hate supermarket shopping? You’ll love browsing these aisles of The Grocery Store – an exhibition of inedible goods instead. This fake supermarket is packed with very real food-themed art and it’s the most fun grocery run you’ll ever do.

Get to Marrickville's Voluptuary Ceramics studio for this immersive, retro-kitsch exhibition. More than 20 Australian artists have reimagined everyday supermarket staples into covetable artworks through ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting, print and textiles. Nothing is edible; everything is collectible. 

Wander the aisles to find ceramic milk cartons, oil-painted mangoes, pasta clocks, glittering fish combs and even asparagus wall hooks. It’s surreal, it's tongue-in-cheek, it's the mundane made magnificent.

New works are being added throughout the run, so no two visits are quite the same. The exhibition runs daily until March 15 and entry is free. Find out more here
