Meltdown—a 16” ice cream infused vinyl bust—from Coarse serves up more than its crave-worthy frozen treat side lets on. It is, as is much powerful art, more than its surface. Beyond the playful ode to the sweet, cold stuff that soothes our disappointments and amplifies our triumphs, Meltdown is, as the name suggests, a witness to an unmistakable reckoning, as everything and everywhere inches ever warmer.
Available in both the colorful Alter Ego (299 pcs, $360) as well as the more subdued The Long Goodbye (199 pcs, $360) editions, Meltdown includes a clever, but essential detail – a COARSE-inscribed spoon permanently dug into the overflowing ice cream layers. Both flavors of sobering sweetness drop on Saturday (9.1) at 8:59 AM PDT from the Coarse Shop.
