Rummaging in the Garbage: Waste and Recycling in Contemporary Art [exhibition catalogue]

The artists and collectives represented are Basurama, Donna Conlon, Mark Dion, Regina José Galindo, Chus García-Fraile, Chris Jordan, Vik Muniz, Ester Partegàs, and Diet Wiegman. The catalogue offers a brief presentation of each of these participants.

The foreword by Seve Penelas, the curator of the exhibition, and the text by Joan Nogué, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Girona and Director of the Landscape Observatory of Catalonia, reflect a new approach to landscapes which, though not hidden, we usually do not want to see.
