Some of the most fun I had during my first year in advertising involved working with two artists in the SF Dump’s Artist in Residency program (count on our fair city to be one of the only ones nationwide that gives artists the privilege). Tables with bike wheels, sod couches and bulletproof benches were among the most imaginative pieces to come out of the commission. So hearing that the local organization Intersection for the Arts is now hosting work created from materials in the Public Disposal and Recycling Area (“the dump”) has me most excited, of course. Recology is on display at Intersection’s new space at 5th and Mission until September 25th, and I beg you not to miss Mike Farruggia’s inventive use of redwood, ironwood and cycling parts (below, following Sandy Drobny’s Caution and before Sirron Norris’ Found Wood, Jane Kim’s Faux Bois Divide, and Nemo Gould’s Impala).
