Join us at the Antelope Valley Conservancy for an exhibit featuring Selections from the Waste Wunderkammer. Collected over the past five years from the desert, there will be dirt and dust and research into the provenance of these sometimes rare, sometimes sublime, storied objects along with documentation of their discovery and, of course a map! Opening Saturday, August 25th from 4-7pm in Quartz Hill, this event is part of Maiden L.A. so make sure to check out the other #lacounty wide events through the end of August. This exhibit runs through October 25th. Artist talks are September 22th, for National Public Lands Day and October 20th. Come explore the weird things I have rescued from the AV desert and learn about prevention, resources, reuse and preservation of our fragile habitat and watershed lands.
