SUPERMARKET STOCKED FROM MARINE LITTER TO FEATURE IN NEW EXHIBITION - A remarkable ‘supermarket’ stocked entirely from marine litter is set to feature in a new exhibition dedicated to raising public awareness of the problem of pollution in our seas. My Sea, Your Sea. Keep it Litter Free will showcase photographs and sculpture from artists who’ve used marine rubbish as the medium for their work. The centrepiece will be ‘TruCost Super M-Art’, an installation from Brighton artists Lou McCurdy and Chloe Hanks, consisting entirely of consumer products washed up on South West shores, including plastic drinks bottles, lighters, flip-flops, shampoo bottles, cleaning products, cutlery and toys. The exhibition is part of the three-year, €4.5million EU-funded MARLISCO project, being led in the UK by Professor Richard Thompson and Dr Sabine Pahl of Plymouth University, to engage and educate people on the issue of marine litter. Dr Lauren Carroll, MARLISCO UK Outreach and Engagement Officer at the University, said: “We’re really looking forward to putting on this exhibition and making people aware of the problem of marine litter and what we can all do to try to reduce it. The artists’ work is fantastic and attention-grabbing and really helps to portray the true extent and scale of the problem we’re facing.” Read more: plymouthherald.co.uk/Supermarket-stocked-marine-litter-feature-new/story-21317407-detail/story.html#ixzz36t2D5pHA Read more at plymouthherald.co.uk/Supermarket-stocked-marine-litter-feature-new/story-21317407-detail/story.html#Qmd6bW6XzDSUeo3X.99
