DC art exhibit makes shoes out of trash in nod to the Great Shoe Spill of 1990

William Brangham: Andy Yoder: Right. They did. Right next to Salvatore Ferragamo, you have got Special K cereal, or Veuve Clicquot right next to Hot Wheels.

A New Exhibit Turns Air Jordans Into Art

Share Last year, artist Andy Yoder was set to open an exhibit of his sneaker art just as the pandemic hit, and like so much else, it never happened. Now the show has finally opened, and the one-year delay has allowed him to create even more of his distinctive shoe art. Overboard, opened on April 22 in a 40-foot shipping container that serves as CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery.
