Once again I am going to talk about the last art form I wrote, art with trash. I think this has always been an innovative and conscious form of art because these artists are like no others because no one else had thought about creating beautiful structures with nothing else but garbage, so that they reuse trash and create art.
There’s actually an appreciation of the people to this art and it is shown in an exhibition called “Art from Trash”. Art from Trash is an annual community event that encourages the reuse of discarded materials in the production of visual art. This exhibition is open to all public and even better every new artist has an opportunity to show his work. This exhibition has been functioning since 1995. Art from Trash is both, an open door for artists to express themselves and a new way to reuse materials that the world considers to be not long useful.
There’s another exhibition called “Urban Trash Art” and it is a project that began in January 2009 in Sao Pablo, Brazil. Urban Trash Art is a project that was created by the artists Cleber Padovani and Rodrigo Machado, both artists believe that art materials should be accessible to all, and centers on issues of sustainability; transforming trash as a means and end. They take what is considered to be trash and they return it as art works that affect the urban landscape and offer a critical look at the issue of over-consumption and waste.
Both exhibitions are great ideas because they prove to the world that where we can only see a bunch of trash, other persons can create a piece of art. We should open our minds to new ideas like these and we should support the work of these new artists because they are not only trying to express themselves but also they are trying to help our planet.
