[SustainableTompkins] Unique Art Show on American Consumer Waste

[Marian Brown]

The Handwerker Gallery at Ithaca College announces the opening of a 
special exhibit of some of the works of photographic artists Chris 
Jordan, whose series "Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait" 
looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of 
statistics.
Each image portrays a specific quantity of something; for instance, 
"Cell Phones" depicts 426,000 cell phones, the number of cell phones 
retired in the United States daily.

An Opening Reception will be held on February 28, 5:00–7:00 p.m. at the

A Gallery Event titled "Ithaca College Responds to Running the Numbers",
