Rubbish Thread ?

[woofmarkthedog]

As I said...?

"RUBBISHTM "

This thread is actually about "rubbish"

( rather than the other rubbish I normally post )

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4601210329_a6455c55cd_m.jpg ( yesterdays rubbish on location, Sydenham )

This is real & found "rubbish" & not that other rubbish found by googling "rubbish" then lifting those images for your own pleasures, which is IMHO " rubbish "

I have a whole library of images on the subject of "rubbish" for you to enjoy, it has all been shot on location ( by me & my eldest son ) in the surrounding area of South East London

I am however, breaking new ground soon in the West End & further afield

You will be suprised at the quality of the "rubbish" out there

Is this Rubbish..?

Well it has been "dumped" in the street

But look how the chair is propped up by the white railing, it in turn drawing the eye into the scene

See how the back of the chair, it's remaining leg & the doors are of the same colour, almost abstracting the image

The seemingly casual juxtaposition between the door & other items in the composition suggest a dwelling abandoned, a life fractured & even a metaphor for the broken society we live in.

Look even closer at the doors, what lies beyond them & their warning signs. We see that all is not well & that one small push could tip this scene into chaos

It's discoveries like this that make me question the immediate living world, what it means to be part of the society & space we inhabit

When I saw & realised this, I was profoundly moved

It also reminded me of this 1888 painting "The Chair" by Vincent Van Gough

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/vincent-van-gogh-paintings-from-the-yellow-house-4.jpg

The yellow chair sits in the kitchen corner on battered brown tiles, next to a closed blue door, with a box of onions behind it. Its fat round wooden legs are stoutly braced by uneven bars, the whole thing bashed together quickly and asymmetrically, with a high, hard back and straw seat. Resting on it is a pipe, and tobacco in a bit of crumpled paper.

It's a beautiful world...

But Van Gogh has carefully airbrushed out the discarded mattress.

[Brendan]

For future reference (please everyone reading this take note for future reference) it is van Gogh. Note that the surname prefix van is not capitalised.

This is true for all surnames with this prefix in all Germanic languages.

Thank you.

my dutch cousin Van Dystar prefers a capitalised V D..

Dutch! Dutch!

Probably half cut on hydroponic prostitutes and contemplating a dyke.

Stone bonkers to the man the Dutch are.

See what I mean. Fucking nuts the lot of them.

[woofmarkthedog]

Indeed...

.... he did kpc

Though this may well have been part of what sent him mad

I do believe he originally intended to include a mattress within the composition however, he was advised against it by the artist Tracey Emin

She later took inspiration for the seminal piece "My Bed", finally breaking away from her friend Vincent to become an artist in her own right

You will see here in the image below RubbishTM street arts very important contribution, towards the final realisation of the piece

Though this was in turn part of an ongoing influence in the artists life, as was this hand held "edible" sculpture

In all a very pertinent observation kpc

I am glad you appreciate the piece

I have a picture somewhere of a toilet, half buried in a mound of soil - in someone's front garden.

I'll dig it out. It really is quite beautiful.

For some reason when I saw this:

it reminded me of this:

....and no that doesn't mean it's rubbish.

[Jah Lush]

This thread is rubbish. Time to put the bins out.

Really...

...it may be an inspired image, much like Marcel Duchamps "urinal" signed R.Mutt

http://www.writedesignonline.com/history-culture/WD-A2Z/duchamp.jpg

which I like very ,very , very much

I just can't wait *Bob* , really I can't

Will you be holding a "private" connoisseurs viewing ...?

( the theme tune could be.... "Dada dada...da ..dada.." you can sort it, I'm sure )

The bag has a hole in the middle.
