They're doing it again! The masterminds behind IKEA-spoof STÖR, Mary Anne Carter and Lilia Deering, are putting together another pop-up art exhibition and retail experience, Inconvenience Store. Where STÖR—in all its Swedish meatball glory—fleshed out the sprawling Base Camp 2, this new venture inhabits the ghost of a former 7-Eleven at Third and Pine, on the ground floor of the new office high-rise-turned-art-space, Parnassus. Inconvenience Store will feature artist-made renditions of familiar goods, organized by department (Food & Pantry, Beauty & Personal Care) by over 50 artists, including Colleen Louise Barry, Shiloh Davies, Emma Kates-Shaw, Maayan Haim, and more. A soft opening is planned for August 28 during the downtown art walk.
