Oh my God things are Horrible, right?
But the Styrene Fantastic was born of horrible. It’s my balm against horrible.
Toxic Plastic Pollution? Free Sculpture Materials! Economic Disaster? Cheap Real Estate! Republicans? … Fuck Them.* We will never stop making things Eric Cantor doesn’t like or understand.

THE TOTAL STYRENE EXPERIENCE PROGRESS REPORT
I was overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of support in response to our Winter fundraiser! Thank you to all who donated! With that seed money, Curators Michael Mahalchick and Patricia Milder and I are working on opening this temporary storefront for recycling Styrofoam into art and performance, turning the glut of empty storefronts and the glut of discarded Styrofoam into an opportunity for experimentation and collaboration across live and visual art. We’re already developing a program of mini-residencies for guest artists to take advantage of the space and the material.
In the meantime, we are also putting together some very special benefit events for the summer, with the aim of opening in fall 2011. It’s closer than it sounds!!!
I AM ALREADY ACCEPTING STYROFOAM, ESPECIALLY PEANUTS
So don’t throw it in the trash! Email me if you have any, and we can arrange for a transfer.
Thanks and don’t despair.
