Trash transformed. Urban waste and the imagination of artists intersect to create a large-scale exhibition intended to leave viewers awe struck and inspired. This juried group exhibition promoted recycling and resource conservation by encouraging the reuse of a variety of materials in new, different, and creative forms. The exhibition featured work by Lisa Barthelson, Peter Bradley Cohen, Thomas Deininger and over forty artists who work with reclaimed – recycled and repurposed – materials. The exhibition was designed to encourage visitors to engage with art, and the artists who create it, in unique and meaningful ways. Exhibitions materials included an interactive scavenger hunt (details below).
The “Reclaimed” opening reception invited visitors to Celebrate Earth Day by participating in an art scavenger hunt where they scrutinized collage, assemblage, sculpture and more in search of reclaimed objects. Artists were on hand to meet with visitors and explain their process and work.
