The state remains unprepared for the pollution and protests its ambitious garbage-incineration plans could generate, writes Yu Dawei.
China creates more than 360 million tonnes of domestic waste each year, of which 150 to 160 million tonnes is generated in cities, and the quantity is growing at a rate of 8% each year. Dealing with these rapidly advancing heaps of rubbish is a challenge for all levels of government.
Aleks Danko’s Songs Of Australia Volume 16: SHHH GO BACK TO SLEEP (2004)
The artist here paints a portrait of Australia, and the corruption of the relationship between language and action. This work was humorous in the gallery space, with the slogans playing as you walk around, but points to a much darker tendency in Australians to ignore issues that don’t interfere with their lives.
I like the idea how Aleks Danko collects all the political cliche and play with the language.

As researches China Waste: a burning issue shown:
“China creates more than 360 million tonnes of domestic waste each year, of which 150 to 160 million tonnes is generated in cities, and the quantity is growing at a rate of 8% each year.”
Associated with the rapid economic growth and tremendous industrial prosperity, continues to be the accelerated increase of hazardous waste generation in China for many years. Hazardous waste pollution controlling has come into being a huge challenge faced to Chinese environmental management. This artwork is inspired by the idea of recycling waste to create something beautiful. Something that suggest the future of China industry when it can make the most out of the waste generated.
Artwork 3: Created by China
In many years, China is known as the world’s factory which mostly focus on manufacturing products rather than create something innovative. As research “Made in China 2025″ the first key point is:
Its guiding principles are to have manufacturing be innovation-driven, emphasize quality over quantity, achieve green development, optimize the structure of Chinese industry, and nurture human talent.
By using plastic straw, a daily mass-produced and cheap material which is a typical stereotype of Made-in-China products, we try to create a creative work which can show the prospect of China industry in the next decade. The Chinese letters that the straws are shaped in means “Created in China”.
Thanks Vicky for this excellent research resource!
Tehching Hsieh spent a year inside a cage from 1978 to 1979. In that time, the now 65-year-old artist was deprived of radio, television and any other forms of communication. The experience wasn't only a test of mental and physical endurance but a performance artwork named "Cage Piece," one of four year-long works the artist went on to create. The next - informally known as the “Time Clock Piece" - saw Hsieh punch a time clock every hour on the hour for an entire year, taking a photograph of himself each time.

If you purchase from China, there is one thing you have noticed: prices are going up, often by 10-25% a year. The reason is not that manufacturers are increasing their margins, but that their costs are rising very fast. Yet, these same factories are under more and more intense pricing pressure from their customers. Which …

Tips for Assessment 3
Hi all!
Hopefully you’re well on way to producing a great PDF publication for your group work. Below are some tips in case you need a little direction, or to help you as you engage your ideas.
/ This assessment asks you to make a publication. Think of it as an art/design magazine, the kind you’d see at a book fair or market or event or exhibition. Imagine finding a 12-page magazine that takes one cool idea and explores it from an art/design perspective. Think of it like the kind of object you’d want to download, print off, stick to your wall.
/ You are asked to use the 2015 Venice Biennale’s curatorial theme as your inspiration. This does NOT mean that the assessment asks you to write a report on the Venice Biennale. Think of it like a contribution to the exhibition. Ross put it really nicely – imagine the curator of the Biennale has asked you to send something for inclusion in the exhibition. You can make whatever you like, but it has to consider the theme of ‘All tomorrow’s futures’ in some way – maybe by talking about innovation, or apocalypse, or utopia, or dystopia, or tomorrow, or today, or time, or technology.
/ Like with every assessment in this course, this publication is a work of art and a designed object. So think about everything that you do – how you use space, image, text, form. This is not an essay; it’s a studio work that happens to be a publication. Think about what some of the possibilities are in terms of contemporary publishing – the integration of media in PDFs, the use of zooming in and out of digital files, the layering of data, the use of scanned material objects, the use of text and typography. The sky’s the limit!
Clare has helpfully posted instructions on how to submit the file via Moodle. Make sure you read them and follow them exactly. Good luck!
These seven trash-obsessed artists may have had a similar starting point but have managed to create an inspiring variety of art from abandoned refuse.
This is smart. Super smart. It's getting more and more rare to see an actual, honest to goodness guerilla campaign that involves both a surprise and an insight tied together with a purpose. Slappin...

He’s not your average artist; in fact, he works with trash found littered along highways and on beaches across the country. Barry Rosenthal is a New York photographer who stumbled onto using trash as an artistic medium after years of shooting plants in nature and realizing there was so much garbage littering these areas.
