Trashion

New exhibit from

The Urban Green Initiative

TRASHION is a refuge for things underused, wasted, or under-appreciated to come together and form a larger work; one that is a unified high energy experience of urban grit. It is an interactive multi-media trash art inspired event series and gallery show which uses art from recycled materials, eclectic works from tape, nails, bones, graffiti inspired art, chemical paintings, clothing from trash bags and metro cards and furniture from neck ties, paint samples, and glitter. Unlike the stereotypical gallery show where a work is meant to be viewed separately from the others and should be uninfluenced and unchanged by both its viewers and the work that surround it, Trashion seeks to envelop the audience’s senses and invites them to change that experience for both themselves and the viewers around them.

Miz Metro started throwing “Trashion” parties in 2005, where she experimented with creating interactive trash art environments for party-goers. Matt Namer and Miz Metro expanded “Trashion” into full blown interactive multi-media trash art parties called “Urban Gypsy Circus” at the infamous 151 Wooster Loft in SoHo NY. “Trashion” the gallery show is derived from these vibrant underground parties.
