ScrapCycle For Kids: Repurposed Planters and Upcycled Gaming
SAT MAY 22ND | 11:00AM | 2:00PM | ADMISSION = REFUSE FOR REUSE |
ScrapCycle is an annual upcycling event that places an exchange-value on upcycled and reused materials, in order to probe the environmental effects of economic perspective: Events require a piece of refuse for reuse as the price of admission. Admission materials are used for on-site installations, directed toward local upcycling artists, or repurposed as holiday gift wrap. These action-based economic and environmental aspects of ScrapCycle refer to the act of reuse as requiring us to approach everyday decisions from a use-value perspective, which is in opposition to our collective exchange-value upbringing.
In addition to featuring upcycled artworks and performances, workshops take place throughout the month in order to underscore the participatory nature of the ScrapCycle series:
On Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE) artist Pollie Barden hosts two special kid-friendly upcycling workshops. At Repurposed Planters, children ages 5 to 9 can try their hand at upcycled gardening and take home the fruits of their labor. Upcycled Gaming teaches children ages 10 and older to repurpose colorful bottle caps and other everyday items as take-home board games.
All ScrapCycle events require a piece of refuse for reuse as the price of admission. Found water bottles are the preferred admission material, on behalf of upcycling artists Katherine Liberovskaya and Keiko Uenishi.
No registration or prerequisites required.
