Yorkshire Sculpture Park


From researching the Yorkshire sculpture park I have gathered certain information on the main current artists and exhibitions, Lucy and Jorge Orta.

The couple started their work in 2009 when on a visit to the recycling town in Cairo, Zabbaleen, after seeing the huge mounds of bottles that formed more of an organic matter in which the people of the town lived. With this they created a series of sculptures using the recycled water bottles, such as the ‘Diptych Cloud Chaises’. the chairs are function as normal chairs as show in the interview with  Bartolomeo Pietromarchi (link to interview in sources)
