Recession Art

Ian Trask, who participated in Recession Art’s “No Money No Problems” and the Bull and Bear Market, is currently the artist in residence at the Invisible Dog in Cobble Hill. This Saturday, January 23, his piece “The Worm” will be presented at the Invisible Dog, along with art by Xavier Roux and Simon Courchel. Trask’s cardboard installation is described as “a new species of detritivore with a voracious appetite and a talent for consuming urban waste.” He will also be part of two upcoming exhibits in New Jersey: “the Caged Bird Sings” opening January 29 at the Alfa Art Gallery in New Brunswick and “Repurposed, Rethought” opening February 12 at the Ocean City Arts Center in Ocean City. As with his Christmas Tree made from discarded belts, these exhibits will showcase his transformations of trash into art.
