A YEAR AGO I HEARD ON THE RADIO SOMEONE SAY THAT THERE IS NOWHERE ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET WHERE THE LITTER OF MODERN CIVILISATION CANNOT BE FOUND. THIS INSPIRED ME TO START THIS PROJECT AND I HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING AND COLLECTING RUBBISH FROM THE ROADSIDE AS I TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK ON MY BIKE. I WANT NOW TO ASK OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE IN MAKING THIS A GLOBAL ACTIVITY. THE IDEA IS TO SEARCH THE STREETS FOR LITTER/RUBBISH THAT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT HAS BEEN FORMED BY AN ARTIST ALREADY! YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU FIND A PIECE, IT'S NOT JUST A CRUMPLED CRISP PACKET OR A FLATTENED CAN,IT HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED BY EXPOSURE TO THE ENVIRONMENT INTO A PIECE OF ART. YOU CAN FIND THESE WORKS OF ART ANYWHERE:, IN THE PARK, AT THE BEACH, AT THE BACK OF THE SUPERMARKET. ONCE YOU HAVE SEEN ONE OF THESE OBJECTS YOU'LL SEE THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE! WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE A PICTURE, WITH YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA/OR CAMERA PHONE, OF THE OBJECT IN IT'S ORIGINAL SITUATION , AT THE SAME TIME MAKE A NOTE OF THE TIME, THE DATE, AND THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE ART WORK. ONCE THIS IS DONE COLLECT THE OBJECT FOR MAKING A MUSEUM BOX LATER. PLEASE READ ON FOR THE METHOD OF CREATING A BOX AND FOR DETAILS OF WORKSHOPS THAT WILL BE HAPPENING LATER IN THE YEAR AND FROM THEN ON. (ON PAGE 2) ARTISTS STATEMENT: I DEDICATE THIS SITE AS WELL AS ALL OF MY FREE TIME AND ENERGY TO PROMOTING THE CAUSE OF SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH MAKING AND EXCHANGING ART WORKS AND IDEAS WITH OTHER ARTISTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE DEFINITION OF AN ARTIST BEING ; ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CONTRIBUTE.
SEND YOUR IMAGES (as jpg attachments no more than 100kb) OF FOUND OBJECTS TO: MAIl@MUSEUMOFRUBBISH.COM AND I'LL PUT THEM ON THE WEBSITE
