unconsumption: junkculture: New Salvaged Tires Installation Breaks the Homogeneity of the Urban Environment In an effort to address the issue of tire waste around the world, Cúmul Collective (previously) has created “ONA”, a new public art installation presented during the 2015 Cultura de la Calle Festival in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain. Made with cut salvaged tires taken from the Seseña tire cemetery located between Toledo and Madrid, the installation resembles a wave that is reminiscent of the sea of discarded black rubber that threatens our environment. Repurposing old tires as urban art gives a new sense to these objects while revitalizing urban spaces. More here. (A previous installation by this group was mentioned on Unconsumption here.) — rw -- source link
