Junk Mail: From Debris to Design
The Academy of Art in San Francisco, CA, states the statistic: "100 million trees are expired for junk mail in the United States every year." The Academy is paying homage to the environment and trying to raise awareness about the amount of paper invested in mail that just ends up in the garbage again as a resource for making beautiful things. BFA and MFA students in sculpture at The Academy held Junk Mail: From Debris to Design featuring structures --including fashion pieces --utilizing junk mail with the hopes of exhibiting how mail can be re-utilized for a positive purpose.
The Academy has been a ring leader in San Francisco’s commitment to the environment and sustainability, actively incorporating green concepts into their curriculum. The show is being displayed at 79 Gallery (79 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA)
