At the Canton Museum of Art, 13 artists from New Jersey to Minnesota have revivified scrap metal, wire, pipe and other discarded objects into 26 sculptures worth cherishing. The exhibit dubbed “Something From Nothing: Contemporary Recycled Sculpture From America’s Rustbelt” shows how recycled objects are transformed into “interesting pieces of art.”
Tony Armeni, Joseph Close, Willis “Bing” Davis, Daniel Horne and Paul Werner made sure that their message was conveyed most forcefully, and reaches a wider audience. The toylike Uptet (Babylonian Gunship) by Kyle Fokken of Minneapolis, the abstract metal sculpture Tenskwatawa by Armeni, Horne’s Kikokuryo (Kinetic Fish) made from car parts and scrap metal from a washing machine: all these sculptures make this exhibit “particularly relevant.”
