Reclaimed: The Art of Recology
Jim and Emily Lowe Galleries
September 1 - December 11, 2026
Reclaimed: The Art of Recology presents a survey of 33 artists who were selected to participate in Recology’s Artist-in-Residence program, which began in 1990. Armed with safety gear and a shopping cart, each of these artists have scavenging privileges in the Public Reuse and Recycling Area—what most artists refer to as “The Big Store”—to recycle and reclaim the discarded waste as imagined art objects. Through introspective, playful, and highly original explorations, the artists reveal the hidden stories our rubbish tells us about our complex relationship with the world, while highlighting the need to create sustainable communities.
This exhibition is curated by Emilee Enders. The exhibition tour is organized by Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek, CA.
