That's a great way to recycle that stuff! I have always pondered the
pre-fab art that shows up in hotels, and what it must be like to
order a shipment of 40 identical pictures… This is one of the best
uses of that kind of “art” yet.

My friend Benny Vinny used to do “trash outs ” for defunct hotels and motels when he was in college, being an artist and pack rat of sorts, rather than throw out all the crap framed paintings that grace every hotel room, he took them all home with him. Over the years he has painted over most of them, usually paining directly onto the glass that covers the print (the prints are all the same too, he has like fifty copies of a fruit bowl still life and at least as many faux impressionist lighthouse landscapes) . The reappropriation of the artwork into new and distinctive artwork that otherwise was destined for the trash heap always struck me as prophetic. Check out his videos and stuff on his myspace page.
