They currently have an art show up of art from recycled materials. Each artist had a challenge to make a piece using some trash temporarily rescued from the landfill by Mecca. https://materials-exchange.org I am always so excited when new work reminds me of the aesthetic and spirit of Dadaism. Here are some photos of me and my partner visiting the gallery. We dressed up because my partner was recently crowned “Slug Queen” in Eugene and the art show asked them to judge a favorite piece. They chose the spaceship made out of recycled plastic. (the first piece here.) I highly recommend you check it out in person and see how detailed and creative these works are in person! Support local artists! #recycledmaterials #dada #dadaism #mixedmedia #collage
this piece is an imaginary game, the title is “make up the rules” How very Dadaist. This piece is one of my favorites, I voted for it as best of show. It combines paint, real elements from flowers and laminated color photographs of flowers leaping off the campus, really showing the strengths of mixed media in an exciting way. This gorgeous piece was so intricate, textured and layered, these barnacle like shapes are made from cut up plastic easter eggs covered by yarn and thread. artist is Fiona McAulife This piece was one of my favorites, the discolored sheet music behind stained glass was very much like the collage of the dada aesthetic from the 1920s. this piece had a functioning clock inside! This mirror had vulva sculptures all around the border, like a miniature Judy Chicago dinner party! this piece reminded me of the phenomenon of homemade toys made from trash. It would be fun to run hot wheels cars down this sweet ramp, or play “warhammer 40,000” or “Necromunda” with this epic piece on the table. This well worn piano had tributes to Keith Haring painted on! the artist is @mija.marie Oh I happened to dress up too, this is my fun Pink Flamingo suit of course! (Shinesty brand) Praying to Saint AOC, this is the future that liberals want!
