Garbage Patch People Exhibition
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch People
An exhibition and faux documentary by artist Jodi Sharp
Concordia Library, 1400 De Maisonneuve W. 2nd Floor
May 23- June 30, 2013
In affiliation with Concordia University, artist Jodi Sharp presents The Great Pacific Garbage Patch People, an exhibition and faux documentary about environmental sustainability and the possibilities of the universe.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch People is a project dealing with the very real issue of garbage patches in the oceans; areas of the sea where huge amounts of garbage has collected due to current eddies. When faced with environmental devastation such as these areas, it is easy to become overwhelmed and despondent about such issues. The exhibition Garbage Patch People seeks to create a world of imagination where anything is possible, even an unlikely conclusion to a catastrophic situation. For when we begin to approach devastating situations with creativity and hope, the possibilities for change truly are limitless.
