Great Garbage Patch Kids Mobile Installation
Mobile Installation by Devon Damonte
In front of the Hollywood Theatre
Recently it came to light that a giant ice shelf broke off an island near Greenland (just north of Devon Island) in 2005. For a very limited engagement, a shard of the Ayles Ice Shelf itself will be visiting Portland, cleverly disguised as a blue 1988 Toyota pickup truck so as not to arouse suspicion. This 300,000 year-old ice cube has a lot to say and show us, spreading the gospel word that we are all the children of the Great Garbage Patch (that huge eternally swirling slurry of plastics in the middle of the Pacific Ocean). Look for the blue Toyota pickup parked in front of the theater for a glimpse deep inside a footloose ice shelf, wandering amidst the gyres.
