BOTTLE HOUSE
BOTTLE HOUSE AT SOLAR ONE
City Sol festival: July 12-15, New York, New York
Calling all citizens/companies/corporations of New York to save and donate their clean, empty plastic bottles in a community
effort to transform them into a greenhouse installation during CITYSOL: a solar-powered music and arts festival at Solar One,
July 12-15, 2007.
This year, Americans will drink more than 30 billion single-serving bottles of water. In the course of our busy lives this year, we
will throw out more than two million tons of polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles - an unintended byproduct of our everyday
convenience.
BOTTLE HOUSE: installation-turned-traveling greenhouse
We will build a translucent sun dome out of our own clean, empty recycled bottles that will serve as a waterfront installation
space during the festival, then transforming into a traveling Greenhouse garden throughout the communities of New York...
growing and providing plants to various areas.
Bring the BOTTLE HOUSE to your community!
Adaptable for the urban environment, BOTTLE HOUSE will travel to empty lots, rooftops, parks, vacant buildings, barges, etc.
with an open call for destinations sent to: Jasmine Zimmerman
BOTTLE HOUSE serves everyone (including Earth)
1: to transform and repurpose an overlooked material that harms our planet and environment into one that will grow vegetation;
2: to build community through a social, educational collective exchange in the creative process.
3: to serve the communities of New York after the festival, traveling to various locations, bringing the garden to the people.
