glorified by acrylic.

garbage can be classified as....

Readymade "objet trouve": also known as "found art". this is art created from the undisguised but usually modified objects that are usually not considered art. (cont'd here)

ORIGINATOR : (my all time favorite)---*drum roll* MARCEL DUCHAMP!

City life, in my opinion great, fantastic, SUPERB... but often over hyped.

One of its greatest downfalls is that filth it creates and the waste it produces.

This to many of you may just look like a piece of trash in a sterlized acrylic box but i think it makes a HUGE ass statement as an art piece.

1. This piece practically yodels the over glorification of city trash ideals. let it be media, reappropriations, snobs.
The city's great... but not that great.

2. How everything & anything can be beautiful.
"Beauty is a matter of perception"

3. people will buy absolutely anything--even garbage.

While the rest of the world is telling you littering is a horrible habit, artist Justin Gignac is just bouncing with joy as you drop ur half crushed Starbucks cup on the group.

Justin Gignac sells these cubes of New York landscape for $50 a pop.
(no smellies and leakage guaranteed)

"I pick up garbage. I scour New York streets picking up trash. After filling bags of subway passes, Broadway tickets, and other NYC junk. I carefully arrange plastic cubes full of the stuff"

Though some of u are making a scrunch face @ the screen thinking "what kinda idiot would pay that?" He has sold a whopping 1200 of these geometric sensations to TWENTYFIVE different countries.

Let it be the unique nature of each cube (each are numbered and signed) or people just really trying to help clean up the streets.

They're selling out, and selling hard.
