The Leonard Lopate Show: Making Art out of Garbage

Making Art out of Garbage

Robert Reed of Norcal Waste Systems, and former dump artist-in-residence Tyrome Tripoli, tell us about a program at the San Francisco city dump that turns trash into treasure. Artists chosen for a residency are given 24-hour access to a large studio at the dump, tools and equipment, and permission to scavenge through 80 tons of material a day.

Nice interview. I have been to artist in residence in SF dump showing, not only entertaining also educational. Happy to hear NY interest in the subject.
