In the Pushkin Museum to them. A.S. Pushkin will collect plastic for the project of artists Lilia Li-Mi-Yan and Katerina Sadovsky Automatic translate

Graduates of Rodchenko School Lilia Li-Mi-Yan and Kateryna Sadowski will turn plastic waste into works of art as part of the project “Where is my plastic bag?” The project consists of two parts: collecting plastic trash and creating transparent sculptures from it. Plastic will be recycled at the factory, and the sculptures will be molded using pre-designed 3d models.

Today, many organizations have paid attention to the issue of global warming and pollution of water bodies by plastic waste. The authors explore and rethink this problem through their art practice. The work of Li-Mi-Yang and Sadowski is an artistic gesture that begins with collecting plastic waste in your own kitchen, and ends in the museum. This is a kind of gathering act, when the artist first turns into a garbage man. According to the authors of the project, personal responsibility is important in this work. To change the situation with plastic waste in the world, you need to start with yourself.

As part of the project in the Pushkin Museum. A.S. Pushkin and other Moscow museums will be installed special trash cans with the inscription "Plastic for art". Each person who throws a plastic bottle into this container will become a co-author of the project. “We will work together on our future sculptures. This plastic could have decomposed somewhere in the Moscow Region for hundreds of years, but with our joint efforts it will turn into works of art, ”say Li-Mi-Yan and Sadowski.
