Gavin Turk traces the story of rubbish in art, from the point industrial society first produced ‘waste’ as a category, through Duchamp’s ready-mades and the moment artists began building with, rather than merely depicting discarded material. Along the way: Schwitters scavenging the street for his Merz collages, Arman’s Le Plein (Full Up), Manzoni selling his own waste as gold and the now famous stories of artworks mistaken for rubbish and swept away entirely. The talk closes in the present, where waste become both medium and emergency, asking what we choose to keep, and what that choice reveals about value itself.
