Don’t wear your shoes in the melon patch, 2022, is Mai-Thu Perret’s first porcelain object. It is modeled after a disposable plastic container for melon flavored ice cream the artist found in a Japanese supermarket.Perret was fascinated by this cheap replica that mimics the form of a traditional Chinese lidded jar, and undertook to reproduce it in a much larger shape in the classic material of porcelain.Reflecting on the impact of capitalism and over-consumption on traditional cultures, the artist has chosen to restore the noble aspect of this plastic commodity. - Date
