MESSAGE FROM THE ARTIST

Dear Most Valued Customers:

It’s almost impossible for me to try to explain what it is you are about to experience and the journey it took to get here. I started working on The Plastic Bag Store in 2015 after watching someone bag and double bag all my groceries that were already bags inside of bags inside of boxes. I wanted to highlight the absurd amount of packaging we are using and throwing away by making something even more absurd, a grocery store that only sold packaging. Over time the project evolved into an elaborate immersive puppet play with transforming sets and hidden rooms. For several years, my amazing team and I slowly pieced together this epic beast of a project. Sometimes that meant working with the support of prestigious residencies at architectural firms and fellowships at Universities. But more often it meant grueling rehearsals, endless schlepping and hours spent sifting through NYC garbage.

With all the pieces finally in place and a venue to die for, The Plastic Bag Store was set to open in the heart of Times Square on March 18, 2020...ya know... the day the whole world shut down? We did one amazing dress rehearsal and locked the doors and walked away.

I think part of me wanted to give up after that. With the support of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance, we were able to create a filmed version of the project, I was relieved that there would be some record of what we created (we didn’t film that rehearsal). I never imagined how beautiful the film would turn out, and how perfectly it would capture the story as I see it in my head. We then found a way to integrate the film into the installation for a live experience which we ultimately got to show in Times Square, take to Australia and finally to premiere in Los Angeles! So, creating the film has made The Plastic Bag Store viable and tourable in this time in a way that other projects haven’t been. For that, I cannot be more grateful.

Photo by Maria Baranova for Times Square Arts CREDITS CAP UCLA’s presentation of The Plastic Bag Store has been made possible through the incredible commitment and support of individuals and organizations who are reimagining the world on behalf of all of us in it. CAP UCLA is grateful to everyone who conjoined our effort to bring this ambitious project to Los Angeles audiences.

Situating The Plastic Bag Store in the vibrant Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles was due to the tireless effort and generosity of Yuval Bar-Zemer, who not only provided the venue but enlisted his team and associates into the effort. We simply could not have done this without Yuval, along with the critical and early support of Paul Solomon and the Len Hill Family Trust. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Endowment at CAP UCLA provided seed funding in the early stages of imagining this project. And the Plastic Pollution Coalition has been an incredible partner, sharing expertise, ideas and connections that have deepened the impact of this project.

CAP UCLA gratefully acknowledges our supporters, partners and vital connectors whose energy, resources and knowledge have exponentially expanded the indelible imprint of Robin Frohardt’s The Plastic Bag Store:
