Eclectic group exhibition of salvaged materials and electronic waste.
At the Sainsbury Centre, an impressive roster of international artists – Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Ibrahim Mahama, Michael E. Smith, Sarah Sze, Gavin Turk and many more – are creating art from waste materials to start a conversation about the past, present and future of consumerism.
At times mystical, dystopian and optimistic, these works of art fashioned from defunct technology, scraps of material and organic matter prompt viewers to reimagine their relationship to clutter and the climate. Rooted in stories of making and human ingenuity, the exhibition offers an optimistic vision of how we can build a more sustainable future with the planet.
Sainsbury Centre runs a Universal Ticket policy, operating on a ‘Pay If and What You Can’ basis.
