Deborah Munk helped run the artist-in-residence program at a San Francisco garbage dump, which attracted ambitious artists like Niki Ulehla. Though the artist-in-residence program started in the 1990s as a novelty, it quickly proved popular and benefited from a California law that required local governments to divert waste from landfills. Munk took over the program after a chance meeting with an old professor. She helped expand it to include an even wider variety of artists, in order to help capture the broad scope of what makes up the U.S.’s trash.
