epOxybOx in Venice presents "Found: the Greening of Fine Art", a superb exhibit with artwork made of recycled, reclaimed and reformatted material. Featuring 4 eco-artists, the show is set in two rooms, opening on Dianna Cohen's colorful plastic bag wall pieces, and Basil Tantaros' lamps using recycled objects.
The green movement is picking up momentum -- including in the art, architecture and design areas. But it's the first time a show presents works that stand as true art, as opposed to mere experimentation. Beautiful work. Beautifully presented. Thoroughly zen. Related:
