No, not a song but an art exhibition. You may remember Jean Shin from the post I made about her last exhibition. Jean is a sculptor (sculptress?) who re-uses everyday items that have been generally passed over and forgotten with the passage of time. Her sculpture that really caught my eye was "Sound Wave" - a mass of old vinyl records re-made into a statement about the obsolescence of old music formats. It really got me thinking especially since I still cling to my vinyl like crazy.
Anyway, her new exhibition is about the everyday Joe, using trophies to celebrate the people who struggle everyday unrecognized for their efforts, an idea I'm pretty in tune with.
Check the exhibition out at the Smithsonian (it's running until the end of July) or read more by clicking here.
