DESCRIPTION:Consumer consumption of goods and resources is one of the numerous factors 
 that underlie environmental decline. In "Reframe: Making Sense of Waste," 
 Hanna Regev curates the works of 14 artists who grapple with the meaning of 
 all that waste through the use of scraps and discarded material in their 
 work. The resulting pieces demonstrate their resourcefulness, imagination 
 and creativity. \n\nThrough "Reframe," the public is invited to reflect on 
 their own individual role in generating waste and environmental pollution. 
 The undisputed and alarming fact remains that today, one-fifth of the 
 world's population consume 86% of the world's total resources. Consumer 
 demand is stimulated by an irresistible and powerful advertising industry 
 and is interlocked into our economy. Consequently, any imbalance can easily 
 lead to economic disequilibrium and thus trigger recession, depression, and 
 massive unemployment. The solution to this problem is not easily 
 attainable; however, each of us can make a dent in reversing the trend. 
 \n\n"Reframe" is a teachable moment and reflexive show that calls for 
 individual responsibility, an examination of the waste around us, and 
 questioning our consumption behaviors. While viewing the exhibit, we ask 
 that you think of ways to harness the insatiable appetite for goods that 
 drive the demand of ever-increasing products. As consumers and viewers, 
 think of what you contribute to environmental degradation and your 
 consumption habits.\n\nFeatured artists are Michael Bartalos, David Broom, 
 Alejandra Chaverri, Gregangelo Herrera, Wolfgang Ganter, Rebecca Goldfarb, 
 James Goode, Beth Grossman, Avi Hoen, Judith Selby Lang, Richard Lang, Jose 
 Ramon Lerma, Liz Mamorsky, and Noah Wilson. Music will be performed by 
 James Goode on instruments created from recycled materials.\n\nA curatorial 
 walk-through with Hanna Regev and curated artists will also be held on 
 Saturday, May 22nd at 3PM. Regev has MA's in Museum Studies and Modern 
 European History from SFSU.\n
