End of Residency Exhibition at Smith Art Gallery & Library, Public Performance at Brighouse HWRC
Alice Bradshaw – Artist in Residence for Brighouse Arts Festival at Brighouse Household Waste Recycling Centre
End of Residency exhibition opens Saturday 6th October at Brighouse Library
Public Performance: Thursday 11th October, 1pm at Brighouse Household Waste Recycling Centre
Alice Bradshaw is Brighouse Arts Festival 2018’s artist in residence based at the Brighouse Household Waste Recycling Centre.
During September, Alice was based at the local recycling facility ‘talking rubbish’ with staff and members of the public. Alice has been inspired by these conversations and the objects discovered in the skips and in the on site charity shop and has made a new series of work including a new film and publication, both entitled Recyclables, and a set of prints and postcards that will be on display at Brighouse Library through October. She will also be performing a guided tour of the facility on Thursday 11th October at 1pm which is free and bookable via the Brighouse Arts Festival website.
Alice comments on her interest in rubbish; “My interest in rubbish and its changeable value as both social object and art material is a long standing obsession. Rubbish is a temporary object-state before an item is reused, recycled or decomposed. The object history and the processes involved in deciding that something is rubbish and throwing it away are particularly of interest. The conversations we have about rubbish are something I place great value on.”
Matthew Harrison-Lord, director of Brighouse Arts Festival said, "It's great to have Alice work for the past month at our town's recycling centre. What a great place for people to find an artist working. Manipulating our preconceived notions of rubbish and art and changing our view of everyday household items as well as contemporary visual art. We are proud that this year's festival has had such a public artist residency in the community"
Alice is founding director of the Museum of Contemporary Rubbish and completed her Masters by Research with merit on the value of rubbish in art practice at the University of Huddersfield in 2015. Her art practice is multidisciplinary, spanning sculpture, installation, video, drawing, sound, performance, writing, publishing and curating.
Arts for Brighouse and Suez have arranged and facilitated Alice’s residency at the Brighouse Household Waste Recycling Centre. 509 Arts have supported the production of Alice’s new publication and exhibition at Brighouse Library.

Woodhouse Ridge Festival, Hyde Park, Leeds, 05/07/15
Museum of Contemporary Rubbish is participating in Woodhouse Ridge Festival in collaboration with Flora Hochrein of the University of Leeds.
Postcards of selected items from the Leeds Collection will be available for visitors.
Flora says: "Waste is one of the most pressing issues today. Particularly plastic waste poses many threats to our environment. Currently, only 12% of waste is recycled and plastic products are still consumed excessively. When walking through Woodhouse Moor after a sunny day, waste issues and careless attitudes become very apparent.
This is why I have developed a research project as part of my Masters thesis, targeting this issue and sparking a dialogue about waste and sustainability. The project aims to raise awareness for local and global waste issues. Using art as a medium of universal communication, the goal is to deliver issues to a diverse range of people, and make sustainability engaging and relatable."

Rubbish Conversations #1
Thank you to everyone who made it to the opening of the new Museum of Contemporary Rubbish exhibition.
Lots of Rubbish Conversations were held varying from the price of scrap, value systems, recycling to the specifics about my work.
A couple of people said the Rubbish Conversations element made the show for them and they enjoyed talking to me about my work and rubbish in general which was really great to hear.
It's possible that I'll go back and talk to a group of students at a later date during the show which could also be opened up to the public too for Rubbish Conversations #2.
