Following shows in Melbourne and London, Sarah takes her second solo exhibition “50 Bucks: Bring On the Sluts” to Portland, Oregon. For those of you in the area it is your chance to see her collection of 500 small works rendered on moleskine paper (12.9 x 20.8 cms), and named to reflect both the subject matter and ‘cheap’ nature of the works.
The collection of works was initially inspired by a trip to Japan in 2007:
“I was overwhelmed by the Japanese vending machine culture – whereby one can purchase almost anything – from beer to bedroom slippers; a microwave dinner to a pair of used panties – from a handy vending machine. I wanted to compare the relationship between the multinational distributor responsible for the machine and the cheap nature of the product vended. The idea of the ‘sluts’ was then stimulated by my accruement of a large collection of vintage pornography.”
Sarah will present many of her artworks for ‘pot luck’ selection within her own art vending machine, sponsored by Pepsi Cola, whilst others will be made available across the gallery walls. All artworks (apart from the vending machine) will be priced at $50.
