Urban Beautification: Any Color Trash You Like

Urban Beautification: Any Color Trash You Like

By Dan Gould on May 13, 2009

New York based artist Adrian Kondratowicz has been working on improving the urban landscape through the use of his custom-made, brightly colored trash bags since August of last year. He’s distributed the biodegradable bags throughout New York City, and in several countries around the world. Adrian will be part of a group exhibition during the ICFF called InDisposed which focuses on sustainability versus wastefulness, and preciousness versus mass production.

He explains:

TRASH: anycoloryoulike is a vivid art intervention for urban beautification and environmental awareness. The project consists of select city blocks in which new artist-created bags transform standard piles of trash into vivid sculptures of color through the participation of local business owners and residents. Each TRASH bag is 100% biodegradable and naturally scented to repel insects and vermin.
