NYC trip

On the dates of March 17th and 18th, the studio took a trip down to NYC and look at a number of galleries. During the trip we saw the Material ConneXions library as well as Aurora Robson's gallery exhibition in Chelsea NYC. While down in Chelsea, we visited a number of art galleries displaying everything from sculpture, paintings, photography and the comic strip called The Book of Genesis being on display. Overall the two days in the city allowed us to have access to very interesting projects related to plastic and current architectural buildings. To be able to see Dr. Joachim's building in Brooklyn was a definite eye opening experience. It demonstrated the possibilities that exist within a city like New York.

Relating to the whole idea of plastic that we are working on, I just recently stumbled across a website that had to do with the reuse of post consumer plastic/garbage. http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/03/20/reclaimed-garbage-transformed-into-unique-sculptures/ as well as another using beer cans to make a very elegant sculpture: http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/03/20/reclaimed-garbage-transformed-into-unique-sculptures/ .

Enjoy.
