RECYCLING CULTURE: WASTE AS A CREATIVE MEDIUM is a project-based workshop to examine the contemporary crises of waste through critical and creative forms of expression.
This hands-on workshop asks participants to develop independent or collaborative projects to consider the culture, politics and processes of waste production in an artistic medium, such as sculpture temporary installation, performance or photography. Participants will conceptualize and develop ways of turning waste itself into a creative and constructive medium. In devising exploratory projects, participants are encouraged to look beyond static representations and consider works that are process-oriented, public, and participatory. Please see http://recyclingculture.mit.edu for more on the workshop, including references on art & resources.
On Friday January 28th, we will have a one-day exhibit and discussion of the workshop projects in a public space at MIT.
PARTICIPANTS ARE ASKED TO BRING IN A SAMPLE OF WASTE (SUCH AS A JAR OF CHARLES RIVER WATER) TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE WORKSHOP.
