In the middle of Downtown LA's Chinatown, at the POVevolving Gallery on Chung King Road, 60 recycling bins and mini-bins were displayed for one night only before they took off to Coachella. The pop-up exhibit, titled Trashed @ Coachella, is part of Global Inheritance's TRASHed :: Art Of Recycling campaign, which consists of an ongoing recycling education program to redefine the way people view recycling and trash collection... by adding art in the mix.
After all, you know Coachella puts a huge emphasis on Eco-friendly living :)
The picts below definitely glamorize trash, huh?
This kid didn't look very frightening to us! ;)
The robot series... R2D2 in the house!

Purple and turquoise are definitely hot shades this season!
More robots meet aliens:
Somebody's gotta clean up after our mess...
A lot of action in the artsy mini-bins:
And finally, just outside the door, a reminder of where we're really at...
