RON SWARNER: MONDAY IS A NICE DAY FOR ANOTHER WHITE TRASH WEDDING >>>
Those ubiquitous plastic grocery bags â€" which consumers overwhelmingly use once and discard â€" can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. Americans toss about 100 billion of them each year.
Sad.
Diane Kurzyna, aka Ruby Re-Usable, explores the unholy relationships we have with waste, especially plastic bags and vegetable netting in her exhibit, Another White Trash Wedding, which will pop up in the Woolworth Windows Urban Art Installation Program Monday, March 16.
The “white trash†in the title is referencing the color of the junk, rather than a way of life.
“[White trash] is not only a comment on a society wedded to over consumption but also a celebration of human ingenuity, a call to rethink what we throw away and make use of stuff that we normally overlook. When ordinary materials such as plastic bags and tape can be transformed into life-sized figures filled with beauty and grace, then truly anything is possible,†Kurzyna explains in a release.
Joining Kurzyna in the other windows will be Wayzgoose Steamroller print artists, Mark Clarson and Chandler O’Leary. Tacoma Contemporary, the Windows governing body, has this show slated through June 13.
[Woolworth Windows, opens Monday, March 16,11th Street at Broadway and Commerce, downtown Tacoma]
