Invisible Garbage Cans Project

Over the last several decades’ trash has become an American icon. The Invisible Garbage Cans (IGC) project, aims to reveal issues related to the American waste “ethic”.

 
 
 

Invisible Garbage Cans Project @ Emeryville

The Invisible Garbage Cans Project at Emeryville, is part of the Art on the Avenue , public arts project. An empty lot on San Pablo and Adeline St. was given to me. I decided to clean the space and fill the garbage can with the trash found on the site. I will continue the stewardship of the space for the duration of the project.
