Description
The Garbage Age Fashion and Art opening reception took place on January 3 at MAG Galleries, launching a month-long exploration of beauty in waste. Presented by Piles Collective and MAG, the exhibit showcased garments, jewelry, sculptures, and furniture crafted from San Francisco street trash, alongside haunting still life photographs of discarded objects.
Artists Juliane Roberts Hansen, Joey Ehrenberg, Liz Cahill, Paul Reginato, Kelsie Jones, and Edie Trautwein reimagined urban debris into elegance, joined by contributions from Amieliana Rivero and Samantha Alexa. Paula Karolak accompanied the evening with a live viola performance.
The exhibit was followed by a series of community-focused events, including artist talks, upcycled textile workshops, and a runway show celebrating sustainable fashion.
