Index · The museum shop · Three objects per exhibition

The object after the show.

The exhibition closes. The object doesn't.For every show, we choose three things you can take home: a catalogue, an edition, and one object made for the wall label it comes with. Each gets its own vitrine.

01 · The vitrine

Same glass. Different label.

The vitrine in the shop is the vitrine from the gallery, moved thirty metres. The object inside is the one you saw. The only thing that changes is the last line of the label.

Three. Never more.A show generates a hundred things you could sell. We sell three, and each one has to survive the question on the label: would the artist put this in the case?

Take the label home too.

Every object leaves with its wall label, printed on the same card as the gallery's, with the accession number and the date the show closed. Put it on the shelf next to the thing. That's where the show goes on.

This show · Clay, Ash, Fire · until 14 December

Three objects from the current show.

Twelve potters, three kilns, one gallery. The three things you can take home are below, with the labels. When the show closes, they're gone, and the next three arrive.

How we choose

Four questions, asked of everything.

The shop is run by the curators, not the marketing department. That's why it's small, and why the tea towel never made it.

Would it go in the case?If the object couldn't sit in the gallery vitrine without embarrassing the show, it doesn't go in the shop one.

Did the artist make it, or agree to it?Editions are made with the artist, on our press. Objects are made by them. Nothing is licensed.

Can it carry a label?Title, material, dimensions, date, an accession number. If a thing can't be described that way, it's merchandise, and we don't sell merchandise.

Does it end when the show ends?Three objects, one show. When the show closes, the vitrines empty. We don't keep a back catalogue. The point is the after, not the always.
