11. Bianco Trash by Luca Pizzaroni
"I was curious to see where
trash goes," he said.
Though Manhattan refuse
does not actually go to the
Middlesex County
Landfill, Mr. Pizzaroni's
curiosity led him there to
create "Bianco Trash," a
series of richly colorful
photographs of garbagedump trash.
16. Riverside Silos by Ricardo Barros
There are three silos just outside my
studio door. They contain Portland
cement, freshly come by ship from
South Korea, across several oceans
and up the Delaware River. Two silos
are spherical, the other more of a
cylinder. Immediately in front of them
is a small, brick pumping station. It is
nearly a perfect cube, capped with a
roof comprised of four triangles. Off
to the side are mountains of
salt, floated in from Chile.
Visitors arriving at my studio are often
startled to discover the silos’
existence, even though the containers
are visible from a distance. These silos
are so huge as to be inseparable from
the landscape. They seemingly have
always been there. It is, in fact, their
enormity that disorders one’s
perspective. First, they creep onto the
horizon. Then, as one
approaches, they overwhelm
everything in their presence.
25. 8. Research the visual aspects of a
ritual, custom or tradition and produce
a personal response to your findings

• Interwoven within the fabric of our society we

enrich our lives
29. 10. Investigate found objects in works
of art and create an outcome
incorporating an interesting object or
surface you have found
30. Marcel Duchamp
Although Duchamp had collected manufactured
objects in his studio in Paris, it was not until he
came to New York that he identified them as a
category of art, giving the English name
“Readymade” to any object purchased “as a
sculpture already made.” When he modified
these objects, for example by mounting a bicycle
wheel on a kitchen stool, he called them
“Assisted Readymades.” Duchamp later recalled
that the original Bicycle Wheel was created as a
“distraction”: “I enjoyed looking at it, just as I
enjoy looking at the flames dancing in a
fireplace.”
31. 11. Study the creative possibilities
presented by overlap and produce an
original interpretation
38. 14. Consider ways in which
artists, craftworkers and designers
have dealt with emotion in their work
and present your own response to a
particular emotion
