Art made from trash is treasured at San Francisco gallery exhibit
San Francisco artists are turning heads by turning rubbish into works worthy to be put on display at one of the city's most-renowned galleries. To most people, a dump is just a dump. But to Deena Qabazard, it's a full-service art supply store with a very flexible return policy. "Sometimes you look and you're like, 'No!' and then sometimes the unexpected car comes and you're like, 'Oh my goodness, fantastic!'" said Deena Qabazard, a Kuwaiti-American artist who has been mining the muck for years, looking to give old objects a new spark. On this particular morning, she scores a bracelet, a mirror, and a string of chandelier crystals, all ready for their second act. Back in her studio, those finds turn into collages of metal, textiles, and photographs, much of it pulled straight from the dump. "Now I'm kind of just playing around compositionally, what it looks like," Qabazard said. As climate concerns take center stage, repurposed art is getting more wall space and less side-eye from the art world. Exhibit A: The latest show from the city's garbage collector, Recology, which for 35 years has run an artist-in-residence program, now on display at the city's famed Minnesota Street Project. Deborah Munk, who runs the program, said 99% of the materials are what is referred to as upcycled. "Artists have been using trash for a long time, but maybe for different reasons because they couldn't afford it. But now, with all the environmental issues we're dealing with, it's becoming more apparent," Munk said. From self-portraits made with discarded mirrors and the artist's own hair, to installations built from pool floats left high and dry, and even one of Qabazard's earlier pieces, a weathered photograph, surrounded by scraps, all pulled from the city's trash and meant to reframe how we see beauty. "It's really important for younger generations to see we can reuse things and transform them, how they can expand our imagination," Qabazard said. The Recology San Francisco Artist in Residence exhibit runs through August 30 at Minnesota Street Project.

Pittsburgh International Airport relocating famed kinetic mobile to new terminal
A longtime art piece that has hung from the ceiling of Pittsburgh International Airport on and off for almost 70 years will soon have a new home for travelers to view. "Pittsburgh," the kinetic mobile by artist Alexander Calder, is being reinstalled this month in the new terminal's atrium to serve as both "a gently waving welcome and farewell," the airport said in a news release on Monday. "People just expect to see the Calder at the airport," said Keny Marshall, the airport's manager of arts and culture. Once installed, passengers and the public will be able to see the sculpture from eye level or above on the pre-security departure level of the new terminal. On the arrivals level, people will be able to look up at the sculpture and walk beneath it, Marshall said via the news release. First installed in 1959 over the rotunda of the then-named Greater Pittsburgh Airport terminal, the mobile was also displayed at the Carnegie Museum of Art before moving to its most recent terminal in 1992. Carol Brown, the former county parks director, was instrumental in getting the sculpture restored when it was hung incorrectly at the old terminal with its metal sections painted first yellow and green and then pink. Once it was restored, Brown advocated for the piece to be put in the then-new 1992 terminal. "I would always stop to say 'Hi, Calder,' when I went through the terminal. And I am looking forward to being able to say that again in the new terminal," said Brown. A special lift will be needed to attach the sculpture to the new terminal's ceiling, which is almost 80 feet high. Other Calder mobiles have also been featured at airports across the country. The 45-foot-long mobile titled ".125" currently hangs in the departure hall of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. A mobile named "Brass in the Sky," once hung in Marshall Field & Company's Cloud Room restaurant at Chicago's Midway Airport. A 40-foot-wide Calder piece named 'Red, Black and Blue" made its way from Dallas Love Field to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport before being displayed at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

‘Matisse and Marguerite: Through Her Father's Eyes' Review: A Model Child
Paris 'The painting wants to take me somewhere else,' Henri Matisse told his daughter as he worked on her realistic portrait one winter day at their home on the Quai Saint-Michel in Paris. 'Do you feel up for it?' The 20-year-old Marguerite, who had been posing regularly for her father since she was 12, consented, and Matisse began to transform the work. He divided Marguerite's face into geometric shapes with pink and black stripes. He covered her nose with a vertical black beam that divided the upper half of the canvas, and added a block of white to her left cheek to suggest a shaft of light.
