Artist's new project: Create treasure from trash



Artists typically do not want to hear their work described as
"garbage." But for Michael Arcega's latest project, the description is
especially apt.





Assistant Professor of Art Michael Arcega
Arcega, a sculptor and assistant professor of art at San Francisco
State University, is one of six individuals selected for the Artist in
Residence Program at Recology San Francisco. He will spend four months
creating an exhibit almost entirely from discarded materials recovered
by Recology, the company responsible for recycled waste collection in
the city.

Book Review: The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro

  A brief assessment after reading this novel, not surprised, predictable in the world of art industry where one so much as wants to be accomplished and successful as a reputable artist , and end up not making a dent in this competitive field. I'm not surprised, but it was worth a read and being drawn into this world of art collection , and get a glimpse of their dealings. It was a smart and engaging book, wish I had more time to really get lost in this novel. It ended too soon. Hope to read the next book from B.A. Shapiro .
