Art Opening: Waste Knot by CURRENTS February 11, 2010

Waste Knot features dimensional work by local art group, CURRENTS. Known for using common materials in unusual ways, and often repurposing something about to be tossed, these six artists show their work throughout the Bay Area in exhibits, galleries and in corporate and private collections. During monthly meetings they encourage each others’ art development by provoking, inspiring, confronting and sharing ideas. Their approaches to developing unexpected types of art fit right in with pariSoma’s entrepreneurial community, by generating creative and sustainable ways of working. Each artist uses different materials, from such common items as newspapers, yarn, thread, sand, paper, and wire, to found items, like an old rusted radiator,garden hose, steel pipes, or bent metal. Most materials are being given a second life, as art.
