Waste

         1994 Damien Hirst | Stedelijk, Amsterdam | art: sculpture

A large glass cube of medical waste highlights throwaway culture that pretends not to see what is right in front of us. Hirst playfully asks if garbage is art and art garbage, reminding us that “out of mind" is not “out of sight." Indeed, waste may be the symbol of our times. Glass, steel, silicone rubber, wood, and medical waste. The Stedelijk, Amsterdam.
