ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE): LandFilles Collaborative Build
SUN MAY 16TH | TUE MAY 18TH - THU MAY 20TH | 1-6PM | 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:
From 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday May 16th, Tuesday May 18th, Wednesday May 19th, and Thursday May 20th, all are invited to join Katherine Liberovskaya and Keiko Uenishi in building a site-specific suspended sculpture, titled LandFilles, from found and/or discarded (disposable) water bottles. (On Friday May 21st, Liberovskaya and Uenishi will play LandFilles in a series of audiovisual feedback performances, titled "LandFilles / dis-(p)lay waste".)
All ScrapCycle events require a piece of refuse for reuse as the price of admission. For the LandFilles build and performance events, found water bottles are the preferred admission material, and will be directly added to the LandFilles sculpture on-site.
No registration or prerequisites required.
