NEW YORK CITY.- Art from Detritus: Recycling with Imagination is an exhibit at the forefront of aesthetic ecology. It speaks to the ongoing problem of waste and the destruction it causes to our environment. More than 40 emerging, established and unknown artists have come together to show their environmental concerns creatively. They have transformed objects formerly considered ugly and worthless into objects of beauty with economic and cultural value, aka Art with a capital A. This is the 4th presentation of Art from Detritus: Recycling with Imagination at The Synagogue for the Arts Gallery Space, 49 White Street in Tribeca. The exhibit runs from May 17th to June 24th with a reception Thursday May 17, 6-8pm, when the public can meet the artists and the exhibit curator, Vernita Nemec.
