HUGE NEWS:
In 2011, The Styrene Fantastic will be working with the New York Foundation for the Arts to open The Total Styrene Experience – a temporary storefront laboratory dedicated to transforming discarded Styrofoam into art and performance. I have teamed up with writer and curator Patricia Milder and artist and curator Michael Mahalchick to significantly expand programming for the project in 2011. The space will accept Styrofoam from the community, present Styrene Fantastic performances and sculptures, and host guest artists exploring ideas of trash, excess and clutter.
The Holidays are great, but they create a lot of trash. In this season of consumerist frenzy, why not create some balance with a tax-deductible gift to a project that transforms the detritus of consumer culture into art?
We have already raised $1500 of our $5000 year-end goal. But we still need a few inspired contributors to help found the project and make our visions of transformed trash come to life. Your tax-deductible contribution to The Total Styrene Experience will help make this project possible. A $100 donation will pay our utility bills for one week. A $75 donation buys paint to cover one wall. A $50 donation buys cleaning supplies for moving in. A $25 donation gets us 1 large Styrofoam collection container.
There is so much Styrofoam in the world! Let’s keep it out of the landfills and oceans, and turn it into a resource for art.
