𝗗𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗻𝗲𝗿 talked us through his research and work, how research overlaps with attractions, objects and materials, particularly creative work related to waste and wasteland, how people use dumps like this. Discusses what is contemporary archaeology and then archeology and the connection between art and archaeology and how to use archeology as a myth or methodology how to do the kind of research you are already doing how to be an archaeologist.
This is where it all started and how these places have been reimagined to be this place. The idea of inheriting something from an ancestor and keeping it safe in the here and now has a slightly different basis than other languages, and sometimes what happens to us when we don’t want to. We don’t always have a choice. So contemporary archeology is a set of how we use archaeological methods to investigate the recent or contemporary. So generally it’s material from the 19th century to how we see how the contemporary world sees it.
Archeology is usually about digging something up to find ruins or traces, in this case we’re all looking for things like architectural landscapes that we don’t have to dig up, we can combine those more.
Fieldwork, like researching around all the time, you can combine it with archival research with our historical or visual culture methodological research and photographic oral history, so that’s the great thing about contemporary art studies, anyone can do it at some To the extent that you’ve been exploring around the site and can gather material where you can document things.
Digital archive. If everything was in the cloud or on a microchip or, you know, even magnetic-based storage, it would be lost. So, in a way, we’re probably less likely to be than we used to be, books are usually glued to leather, which is more resilient than paper, or floppy disks are definitely getting attention.
Where did the trash come from? Some examples of materials to look for are important, such as double demolition rubble mining waste, sometimes soil-like waste. Sometimes waste is something we need to really cherish every time you see a dog in the street with her legs up or she sits down, you know, that’s a dog throwing trash, but that dog is also leaving a sign.Today’s new technology for prizes will quickly become e-waste in a few years, so these things are too rubbish to be temporary.
After Scotland industrialized in the 1950s, there were one hundred and forty brickworks. Today there is only one left. A lot of artists collect plastic weeks to make stuff, so it’s kind of an interesting landscape and transition, this area so there’s the beach there, there’s the Grants and the famous and that’s the master plan.
When people make things on the beach, they take the trash and they make it into seats or campfires. People make art out of it too, it’s just really weird material. How is waste moved? How does it stay so if we get out of millionaires on the beach? The teacher took two new bricks, the only Scottish bricks left. Put them in place of the old bricks on the beach. It has a GPS.
