Jorge Otero-Pailos
Jorge Otero-Pailos is an architect / artist / conservationist mentioned in the Ugly Beauty programme on an earlier post. The above video discusses his work The Ethics of Dust: Doges Palace, Venice 2009 where he removed and therefore revealed pollution on a wall of the Doges Palace in Venice.
"Pollution is our most important product of modern civilisation...but we don't have a history of pollution." Jorge Otero-Pailos

Michael Landy's Weed Etchings
"Landy has been botanising in little urban margins, looking for their earliest colonising flora as well as the longerstanding floral residents. Collecting weeds from urban brownfields, from cracks in pavements and the corners and verges of car parks, he has kept them fed and watered and has spent hours drawing each one, first on paper then on copper plates. The result is a series of etchings .... these images play out a contemporary vernacular aesthetic that is Landy's own distinctive contrivance....
Much of Landy's work broaches a dialectic of history and the present, of politics and art. ... Landy's work asks questions about consumerism, entitlement and capitalism, as well as about the role of artists and their productions." Tate
