Internationally, Trash art and Found objects are among the predominant strategies employed in contemporary art and recent art history. The exhibition becomes a starting point, a platform that raises important questions relating to contemporary art in a globalized world. Recycling as a global phenomenon has cultural and social implications with political, environmental, and economic dimensions. Recycling the looking-glass opens up to local, national, and international perspectives. The exhibition’s environmental and ecological dimensions make it a prescient approach to contemporary global, burning questions. Curator: Samir M’kadmi in collaboration with a curator’s group: Marianne Hultmann – Oslo Kunstforening Inger Løken – Risør Kunstforening Ivar Nygaard – Stavanger Kunstforening Susanne Sveinseid – Norwegian Association for Art Societies Publication A publication in English and Norwegian will serve as a point of reference for the exhibition, and will include both a presentation of the artists and their works, and related theoretical texts. The contributors are writers from both Norway and abroad with a particular interest in the topic. The head curator for the exhibition is artist and freelance curator, Samir M’kadmi. The curatorial task group consists of: Marianne Hultman from Oslo Art Society, Ivar Nygaard from Stavanger Art Society, Inger Løken from Risør Art Society, and Susanne Svenseid from Norwegian Association of Art Societies.
