Video (2min 51sec): 2008 Glam Trash Fashion Show. "“Amazing.” “Cool.” “Very creative.” “Fabulous and funky.”
Those words were heard often as people wound their way through the rusty car parts, wires, scrap machine metals, recycled cloth pieces, seeds, used tea bags, nails, bottle caps, cereal boxes, fake flowers, old loteria cards and more found objects that made up the art in Artes Descartes (Art from Discards) 8th annual show at Stables Gallery Sunday (Sept. 7). See Megan Avina’s slideshow featuring photographs from the fashion show here.
There seems that nothing can’t become art. The show is proof positive that junk in a trunk or garbage on the street can go from an eyesore to an eyescore.
