Trashy art exhibit features cast-off eBay goodies

[mandy]

John D. Freyer has proven that one man's garbage is another man's treasure … or art exhibit.

Freyer's exhibit, "Aftermarket - Arts, Objects and Commerce" offers an intricate display of America's commercialism and material over-indulgence. Displayed at the Everson Museum of Art, the exhibit features four pieces of his work.

The items comprised in the display were Freyer's prior belongings. Four years ago, the artist sold all his possessions on EBay. Freyer then tracked and interviewed his buyers to acquire his items back by loan for the Everson exhibit.

"He's not really an artist, but he is an interesting person," said Shirley V. Hubble, a resident of Syracuse. "The exhibit was not really me, but it is interesting, to be polite."
