Reuse in Art, Reuse in Life: A Conversation Between Ali Gass and Phoebe Schenker

Sunday, October 17, 2026

Join Alison Gass, Founding Executive Director of the ICA San Francisco, and Phoebe Schenker, Executive Director of Reuse Alliance, for a wide-ranging conversation about reuse in contemporary and historical art and why it is more relevant than ever.

The discussion will explore the many ways artists have engaged with reuse, from incorporating found and reclaimed materials to making reuse itself a central subject of their work. Together, Gass and Schenker will consider how reuse connects to broader cultural conversations about creativity, sustainability, consumption, and value, while also exploring how reuse can become a creative practice in our own everyday lives.
