1. I have archived much of my life through collected objects.
2. I have moved a smaller studio, making it necessary that I get rid of a lot of these objects.
3. I have done so by using them as the raw material for one enormous collage, created inside a 30-yard dumpster.
4. Oh, also, I have photographed around 500 of these objects and will display them here, accompanied by a brief history of each item.

HAVE DUMPSTER, NEED HELP


I have The Dumpster, I have a studio in which to produce it, and I have a venue in which to show it.
The Dumpster Project will be featured in the Dumbo Arts Festival (http://dumboartsfestival.com/) opening SEPTEMBER 23rd.
SO NOW I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.
I have until September. I need to get going. 
So far we have raised $1315 toward the goal of $10,000 to make this happen.  But I still need to rent a fork lift and operator to place this thing properly; I need to buy a table saw; I need to buy all the framing materials to build this thing out; I need to design and build a roof...
The time is now, the dumpster is in place, the clock is ticking. Please help. Click the orange button toward the top of the site to make a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation.
It must be noted:
That I have this dumpster and this place to make stuff is due to the astounding generosity of Jiffy Iuen of Frank Collective and David Belt of Macro Sea.

    If you should get the 10k, I think it would be better spent on a tax deductible donation to something that matters

    have you considered a kickstarter?

    Hi Laura, thanks for your suggestion.
    What I have set up is fiscal sponsorship from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and they have a fundraising site called Artspire. If one clicks on the orange donation button on the site here, it takes you to a place where you can donate, very similar to Kickstarter. The benefit here is that unlike kickstarter, all the donations are tax deductible.
