Weekly Recycle Art Links

ReVision promotes recycling through exhibitions and demonstrations of art made from or using recycled, salvaged, scrounged or found materials. Now in our fifth year of operations, we continue to provide a showcase for artists using recycled materials as a major component of their creative process and a public venue to advance awareness about issues of sustainability and zero waste/reusability.

ReVision has held its shows on Granville Island since it started, as it represents exactly the vision we have - demonstrating that recycled materials can have a vibrant, fulfilling new life through envisioning and repurposing. Initially held inside the Granville Island Hotel, the 2011 show collaborated with Creekhouse Industries and CMHC to move the show to a much longer, larger outdoor venue throughout the Creekhouse complex and adjacent areas on Granville Island located just beside the Granville Island Public Market. The show incorporated large and small works in both public and merchant spaces. Besides the public art, the festival incorporated art making workshops, sound making workshops and a wearable art fashion parade.

Owing to the popularity of last year's show and our continued collaboration with Creekhouse Industrial and the CMHC at Granville Island, ReVision at Creekhouse will be a 2-month (June 2 to July 27) art exhibition and festival. Large scale works will be displayed in and around the boardwalks and patios of Creekhouse while smaller works will be situated in more sheltered locations. A Guerilla Gallery in the adjacent Ocean Art Plaza will house work we cannot display within the confines of the venue. Art-making workshops or Creation Stations will be held on selected weekends throughout the 2 months.

Hello Janet, I thank you for this link, and I'm proud to appear in your ""catalog".I recycle objects with funny and ornamental purpose. I invent and make on my spare time of the "unusual constructions " in pure self-taught. I thus get back varied objects: diverse scraps, kitchenware, metallic rooms parts, tools of mechanics. My approach consists in giving them a second life by assembling them and hijacking them from their original vocation.My realizations are unique; I create essentially death's-heads, skeletons and robots.

I thank you again for the interest.
All the best
Eric
