@liaizon my collective is at a 'major' museum and yet, we're still scroungin' and using the dumpster and leftover materials as our primary 'clay' here too!(we chose to invite many more collaborators and spread the money around rather than keep higher honorariums.) maybe we're so used to cheap livin' but it feels like a better way to go |
"when you use primarily discarded or waste materials it helps provide a useful constraint around your activities, 'artwork', or other projects, or serves as a starting point for deciding what you'll make next, either as a meal (if it's food), or as artwork or for performances, if it's materials." -@exquisitecorp
nice to see someone else point this out as its been a major lifelong part of my praxis
