Trash Rubbish Mongo examines the work of artists
who use garbage as their artistic medium, creating art that mirrors
our alienation and consumerism. Author Lea Vergine suggests trash
is a natural medium: "It has been said that trash represents risk
and fascination, impending disaster and seduction. Now and then it
is the mark of a creativity as menacing as it is ambiguous-garbage
cannot be foreseen and therefore cannot be eluded." In fact, trash
and found objects can be seen in works from the early part of the
twentieth-century by Fortunato Depero, Kurt Schwitters, and others,
as well as through current works by Christian Boltanski, Cindy
Sherman, Louise Bourgeois, and Andreas Serrano.Vergine's view is
not limited to figurative art; she also explores the use of trash
in other expressive modes such as architecture, cinema, dance,
music, and theatre, thus providing a multifaceted interpretation of
the artistic use of the very things cast off and abandoned by
society
