The first solo show of self-described junk art sculptor Gabriel Dishaw, “(Not So) New Shoes” consists of (7) new pairs of artistically licensed 1:1 scale reproductions of collectible Nike sneakers made out of recycled computer parts, electronics, found metals, and other upcycled materials. Each pair is matched to a vintage piece of luggage that Dishaw retrofits into a custom labeled shoebox used to secure the shoes for travel and display.
From now until the end of May 360SEE will serve as a depository for old laptops, personal computers, typewriters, and other electronic components for Gabriel Dishaw to use in future sculptures. All materials deposited that are not useable by Dishaw will be properly recycled to keep as many harmful and toxic materials out of our landfills.
In addition to Dishaw’s sculptural sneakers he has also designed (3) custom wearable designs of the classic Nike shoe the Air Force One. The “Air Force One (Wired)” in Green, Orange, and Copper are available in a made-to-order limited edition of (5) pairs per design.
All of the proceeds from Dishaw’s customized Air Force One shoes will be donated to the Earth Day Network. These limited edition sneakers will be available, while supplies last, 4.16.10 – 04.22.10 at St. Alfred sneaker boutique and 4.23.10 – 5.31.10 at 360SEE.
