Lucy Sparrow: The Bourdon Street Chemist 19 April 2021 - 08 May 2021 / Lyndsey Ingram / / Art Tags lucy sparrow, Lyndsey Ingram / / /
The Bourdon Street Chemist by British artist Lucy Sparrow is the artist’s seventh major installation. It marks her return to the UK after four years of exhibiting her faux-reality felt worlds in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Beijing.
Created with Sparrow’s characteristic painstaking research and attention to detail, the walls of this Mayfair gallery are transformed into a fully-stocked chemist, handmade completely in felt. In this interactive performance-art piece each and every hand-painted artwork is sold straight off the felted shelf to customers who can purchase the full range of felt pharmaceuticals by the white-coated Sparrow herself.

SAVING OUR PLANET: We re all trying to do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint, but how do we capture the carbon that s already out there? This free display brings together information and objects on how both forestry and technology can capture carbon including a mechanical tree that does a fantastic job of it, even though it looks nothing like a tree. There s a fun interactive (and contactless) piece where you can have a go at tackling thorny policy around reducing carbon emissions. There s even some vodka made from captured carbon although no samples, unfortunately. This small exhibition may not have too many eye-catching objects but it tackles a hugely important issue affecting all of our futures.
