Sweet Shoppe Public Pop Up

In collaboration with artist Emilie Baltz, this immersive installation explores sugar’s role in everything from agricultural systems and cooking, to its physiological impact on the brain, to the politics of sugar manufacturing and obesity.

Sweet Shoppe may look like any other high concept candy store, until you step inside and meet the shop keeper, a pharmacist who seems to have traveled from another time — or dimension? — in order to serve you. There is no medicine at this Willy Wonka-inspired apothecary, but the secret life of sugar (and a treat, if you’re nice) is offered in a broad range of immersive and sensory experiences incorporating art, technology and live performance.

Taking over a retail space at the luxury apartment building One Brooklyn Bridge Park (360 Furman St, ground floor, waterfront side. a ChaShaMa Space to Present), Emilie Baltz and Guerilla Science will offer shoppers, tourists, and curious passersby the chance to explore our complex affair with sugar — just in time for the holidays.

Sweet Shoppe will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis from 11 AM to 9 PM, with special programming at 7 PM each night, the details of which will be announced at an upcoming date.
