“Don’t Look Back: The 1990’s at MOCA” includes works from MOCA’s permanent collection that identify with the recent decade’s concerns and transformations, including art that has not been on view since it was originally shown years ago.

GMM UPCYCLING
After lining busy streets, banners are removed from city light poles and tossed into landfills. Instead of littering landfills with marketing material, Gold Metropolitan Media seeks to give these banners a second life. We’ve created a program called GMM Upcycling for clients and the public alike. Whether through our web store or in a client’s gift shop GMM Upcycling products are gaining popularity, giving many the opportunity to own a piece of pop culture. If you’re interested in creating upcycled products from your banner campaign or are excited to purchase upcycled products from previous GMM banner campaigns feel free to contact us at info@gmmupcycling.com.

GMM UPCYCLING
GMM UPCYCLING (GMM as in Gold Metropolitan Media) is giving a second life to retired City light pole banners! Once taken down from flying high over the heaviest traveled City streets, many of these banners typically go straight to a landfill.

Our banners are constructed to last outdoors indefinitely so the durability of the material is second to none. They will virtually last forever…and so will the products we’re creating. Order any of our products made from any of our banners on the site simply by going to www.GMMUpcycling.com and feel good about making a difference.
