Inventory (englisch stocktaking), from the Latin *invenire* meaning 'to find' or 'to discover', is the process in which all physically present items, for example in a retail store, are recorded in their entirety.
The exhibition “Inventur” however, uses the supermarket as an exhibition space and aims – through artistic placements – to reappropriate the supermarket as a public space. The inventory of these critical examinations includes deceptive packaging, heavy 'light' products, a controversial T-shirt, golden butter, pointed bags, protective nets and other apples, a 'miracle bag', sausage scraps, a bargain hunt and the Austrian surcharge, all of which are placed or performed within the supermarket.
It becomes evident that public spaces are constantly renegotiated through our use of them.
In the context of the seminar Appropriation of the Supermarket as Public Space by Anna Paul.
