> About the Speaker:
>
> Vernita Nemec (aka Vernita N'Cognita) is an artist of split  
> persuasions- a performance artist and a visual artist, as well as a  
> curator of exhibits in which art and politics touch or, if  
> necessary, collide.
>
> Since the late 70's, Vernita has been creating collage and  
> installations, like "The Endless Junkmail Scroll," a 200 foot  
> collage shown in its entirety or in segments- a creative solution  
> to too much junkmail - and other artworks from materials that would  
> have otherwise been discarded.
>
> In 1994, she founded "Art from Detritus," group exhibitions of art  
> made from recycled materials shown throughout the country.   
> Exhibits have been funded by the Kauffman & Puffin Foundations and  
> sponsored by the NRC (National Recycling Coalition).
>
> Though artists have been recycling found objects for centuries, the  
> globalization of consumer culture has identified new opportunities  
> for creative expression.  Ed McCormack in Gallery & Studio wrote,  
> "Art from Detritus: Recycling with Imagination is an exhibit at the  
> forefront of aesthetic ecology."
