Mona Hatoum was born into a Palestinian family in Beirut, Lebanon in 1952 and now lives and works in London and Berlin.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, her work moved increasingly towards large-scale installations. In her singular sculptures, Hatoum has transformed familiar, every-day, domestic objects into things foreign, threatening and dangerous.

Oliver Bishop Young says dumpsters have a lot of potential to change how we interact with waste. He says salvaging material from dumpsters is already an unofficial art.

earlier this month he presented in London two projects dealing with dumpsters.

in the first one he proposed people exchange information about the content of their dumpsters so others could salvage items they need from them.

in the second project he converted empty dumpsters into public spaces such as skate parks, swimming pools and gardens.

this reminds me of a story I read as a child about an aligator who is mean to his friends and they all desert him and he goes off to live in the garbage disposal room. he converted it to a lovely home. i think it was by richard scarry, but i’m probably wrong, because i can’t find any refference to it.

FilthyLuker, in collaboration with pedro Estrellas, made this installation in france.

he says it’s a house with tentecular cancer.
