GLEAN, a program from Metro, trash management firm Recology and crackedpots, a Portland-based environmental art nonprofit, is a project to make art from everyday objects that are on their way to be put in the landfill.
Five artists - Erinn Kathryn, Hilary Pfeifer, Dan Pillers, Amanda Triplett,and Austin Turley - chosen earlier this year by a panel of arts and environmental professionals, have spent the past six months picking through the trash at the Metro Central Transfer Station, which is managed by Recology. The material they collect from Metro Central is being used in sculptures, wall-hung art and even unique musical instruments.
The public will have a chance to meet the artists at the opening reception and check out the art produced when it goes on exhibit on Aug. 11, 2016. The art will also be for sale.
