About this Event
Coinciding with his work in current exhibition Show Your Metal, artist Joseph Cutts will provide insights into his ongoing research into the cycle & formation of electronic waste, documenting various accounts of ecological, economic and social concerns.
Outlined through a series of personal and professional experiences, Cutts’ will share notes on the implications of importing and exporting overseas, the mass producing of elite goods, and the need for a stronger e-waste management programme, alongside recent artistic and curatorial depictions of metal forming processes, the measuring of the impact of your carbon footprint, building a circular economy and the potential of hyperaccumulators (a type of plant used to transport and concentrate metals from soil).
This talk forms part of the programme of events complementing the exhibition , which opens at the Millennium Gallery on 13 June 2024, until 29 September 2024.
