Great Honey Bunches Trashpo, Roberto. I hope you noticed you are named on the Trashpo Man-Da-Da-La. Where would Trashpo be without Roberto?

WASTE LAND follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio. There, he photographs an eclectic band of catadores – self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with them, as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage, reveals both the dignity and despair of thecatadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. WASTE LAND offers stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

 

It looks great Angie-scanpo

Happy Birthday Roberto!!!!!  I received your piece yesterday and love the Cerealism Trashpo. You made the cereal box look so elegant. I saw another piece you made posted that was similar but couldn't find it to post here. Thank you Roberto

Angie, that could be none other than genuine NBS trash!

Finally got to watch Waste Land--an amazing documentary  (i asked DVS' friends Stubbs and Ramone to watch wiith me, but they said it didnt have enough explosions in it)

really makes you appreciate that we can use to trash to make mail art and not have to live and work in it

thanks for posting your mandala DVS   .. wish you'd post the rest too

Recent recycled/altered trash sent to arttower...does this qualify as Trashpo?
