What is Recycle LACMA?
"On January 14th, 2009 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced that it
was deaccessioning more than 100 items from its costumes and textiles
collection. Once carefully collected, catalogued, and cared for, these items
have now been cast back out in to the world. What will happen to them? Like
any
other useless item, they will need to be recycled or disposed of.

Recycle LACMA is a project of Los Angeles-based artist Robert Fontenot.
At three separate auctions he purchased over 50 items deaccessioned by LACMA
and
is now trying to find new uses for these otherwise unwanted items.

Although each item has not yet been used, each item can have a use."
Such a cool idea.
