Melanie Mena and Michael Acevedo present Transmute: An Exploration on Duality and Reconstruction. Those seniors at CSU Monterey Bay have been selected as the 2024 Artists in Residence at ReGen Monterey, a regional waste management facility in Marina. Since 2016, student artists have been selected for a fellowship at ReGen. The artists scavenge for discarded materials at the Last Chance Mercantile reuse store and ReGen’s materials recovery facility, then upcycle them into art. “Learning about ReGen has truly been eye-opening. This place is an entire system that works perfectly together in such a beautiful and intricate manner,” Mena said. “I hope I can provide something of value through my artistic lens. My plan is to reuse materials to build canvases, frames, and push my paintings into a three-dimensional realm.” The exhibit is open until Saturday, May 18 at Last Chance.
