Wednesday April 23 at 6 PM, A Public Art Unveiling. The DC Art for Public Spaces Project and DPW are pleased to announce the installation of a new public outdoor sculpture titled “Repurposed.” This pair of monumental columns, 60 feet tall, each take the outward form of a container: on the left a supercan and on the right a blue plastic recycling bin -- each fashioned from the plastic repurposed from discarded supercans and recycling bins collected from DC residents who received new cans from the city. The gargantuan but familiar bins will form the two sides of a welcoming arch at the entrance of the Fort Totten Trash and Transfer Facility, 4900 John McCormack Drive NE. Mayor Vincent Gray will speak at the dedication -- or would speak at the dedication, if this were a real event, instead of being the weekly fake event.
