Project details...
What: Natural Recyclers and Wasted Resolve, two site specific projects by Nicola Parente and Divya Murthy
When: Friday, November 13, 2009
Where: Art League Houston, 1953 Montrose Blvd. Houston, TX 77006
Time: 6-9 PM (Artist Talk at 6:30)

Natural Recyclers... using mainly recyclable and renewable resources, Parente and Murthy have created a site specific installation for the Art League Patio, consisting of three giant mushrooms, fabricated from rebar, soil, moss, herbs, Texas native and non native plants. Runs through 2010.

Wasted Resolve... an installation created by Murthy and Parente for the Front Gallery, is inspired by a 2008 New York Times article that ranked Houston as the worst recycler among the nation's 30 largest cities. Wasted Resolve is a visual categorized summary of un-recycled waste created from debris collected during a week long period from an eight-block area surrounding Art League Houston. Runs through December 31, 2009.
