QuoteThe goal of the Artist-in-Residence Program at SF Recycling & Disposal, Inc. (formerly known as Sanitary Fill Company) is to use art to inspire people to recycle more and conserve natural resources. The company provides selected local artists with the opportunity to make art from materials they gather from San Francisco's refuse. The "opportunity"? Apparently, they have excellent trash. "Selected artists"? "Hey, we've seen your work. How'd you like to hang out at the dump?" Quote This includes 24 hour access to a well-equipped studio and an exhibit at the end of their residency, but artists seem most excited about having 24 hour access to the materials. "Many artists find and recycle materials in their art, but no one else has this much material to pick from," says Program Director Paul Fresina. Excited about 24-hours access to the dump? ok. QuoteThroughout a residency, each artist talks to young students and adult tour groups about the experience of turning trash into treasures. I can hear that... "Dude, this is really interesting, but could you stand a little farther back?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
