Reincarnated Art
You will never look at trash the same way again. That’s the intention of an exhibition on display at Gallery S.P.A.C.E. May 2-27. Entitled, ”Reincarnated: Art Showcasing Reduce, Reuse & Recycle,” the exhibition will showcase twelve local artists that use found art or recycled materials in their works as a conscious, creative way to cut down on waste.
Presented by the City of Savannah Sanitation Bureau’s Recycling Complex, Reincarnated will feature such diverse works as shoes fashioned out of rubber tires, handbags and frames fashioned out of National Geographic magazines, mosaics made from sea glass, and sculptures made from old computer parts.
“I recruited the artists by going to festivals and art galleries all around Savannah and seeking out pieces that were, whether intentionally or unintentionally, made with reused or recycled materials,” said Anne Robinson, outreach coordinator for the Recyling Complex and organizer of the show. “Once I found a talented cadre of artists, we met monthly for six months to exchange ideas and materials. Reincarnated is the end result of these gatherings.”
Artists selected to participate in this unique exhibition include: Maria Johns Brown Danielle DeMasi, Kristie Duncan, Liz Guri, Paschal Ford, Kelly Goode, Chris Harris, Lind Hollingsworth, David Kelley, Brian MacGregor, Jan Clayton Pagratis and Christopher Schell.
