Aspen Art Museum
Young Curators of the Roaring Fork are proud to present their 2008 exhibition, Wasted

Aspen Art Museum Exhibition April 25 through May 11, 2008
Beginning with a free public reception on Friday, April 25, 2008, from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., in the Aspen Art Museum Upper Gallery.

Wasted features 30 artworks by artists from high schools and middle schools throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. For Wasted, the Young Curators asked student artists to consider the many interpretations of the concept of waste and to experiment with the idea of reuse in holistic terms—to consider their environment with a view that includes people, places, and concepts, along with physical things. The works chosen for the exhibition represent both the physical manifestations of wasted materials reborn, as well as conceptual illustrations of untapped opportunities or potential. In all, over 100 artworks were submitted from which the final artworks were culled.

Wasted will be accompanied by a free cell phone audio tour that will allow visitors to hear the Young Curators’ comments on some of the works.

Wasted was organized by the Aspen Art Museum’s Young Curators of the Roaring Fork, under the direction and supervision of AAM Assistant Curator Matthew Thompson and AAM Education and Public Programs Manager Morley McBride, and in collaboration with museum Director and Chief Curator Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson.

Located at 590 N. Mill Street Aspen, CO 81611 or Call 970-925-8050 for more informations and hours.
