Beautiful Trash: Sustainability as Condition, Not Cure, in Contemporary Art
Jennifer Findley, an art advisor, curator and founder of the JFiN Collective, explores how artists and institutions are rethinking sustainability as a material condition of contemporary practice. Findley examines how figures like Max Hooper Schneider and Tom Friedman are redefining what it means to create, collect and conserve in an age of excess. The art world’s path forward, she argues, lies not in restoration, but in reconfiguration.
