 Garbage Party is an interactive public art installation where visitors are asked to engage with a 10ft long, handcrafted waste receptacle that will be installed in two Lethbridge locations this September: from the 15th-21st in Galt Gardens Park adjacent to the Rotary Fountain, and from the 22nd-28th near the Baroness Picnic Shelter in Indian Battle Park. This temporary art installation asks the public questions about their relationship with waste and recycling, presenting a playful and absurd site in which to engage in conversations about our consumer society and the impact of the waste it generates. The artist will be present daily from 2-4pm to perform on-site maintenance, sort and analyze collected trash, and talk with visitors. ** On September 22nd from 2-4 there will be a coulee clean-up co-organized with the Helen Schuler Nature Centre. Meet at the installation to get set up with supplies and oriented in the art of picking trash! This project is funded by a City of Lethbridge Small Projects Grant.

 At the end of August I had the pleasure of participating in the Yellow Fish Durational Performance Art Festival in Seattle, re-creating/re-imaginging/re-working my performance "PLASTIC PARTY".
It was a fabulous experience participating in the festival, it was run by amazing women who were so enthusiastic, thoughtful, and supportive, providing a space for the 30+ artists to carry out their artistic fantasies. I met some great people and experienced a ton of performance art. Seattle was a fun city to explore... with a whole new selection of plastic items for me to collect and tally up. Stay tuned for more images from the festival... |
