Trashion Part 2

TRASHION is a refuge for things underused, wasted, or under-appreciated to come together and form a larger work; a unified high energy experience of urban grit. TRASHION PART 2 features New York City artists who aren’t afraid to take risks and think outside the box. It is an interactive multi-media trash art inspired event series and gallery show which features art inspired by graffiti, recycled materials, surrealism, found toys, all kinds of tape, vinyl records, garbage bags, rusted steel, neck ties, paint samples, glitter, dreadlocks, newspaper, nails and more. The work seen here is engaged in a dialog with the urban landscape we live in and the human condition it creates. TRASHION seeks to envelop the audiences senses, inviting the viewer to expand their personal definition of what art is and their relationship to the world around them.

Miz Metro started throwing “Trashion” parties in 2005, where she experimented with creating interactive trash art environments for party-goers. Matt Namer and Miz Metro expanded “Trashion” into full blown interactive multi-media trash art parties called “Urban Gypsy Circus” at the notorious 151 Wooster Loft in SoHo NY. “TRASHION” the gallery show is derived from these vibrant underground parties.
