Landfill is an online archive and quarterly subscription service that studies
socially engaged artworks by documenting and redistributing the material
byproducts they produce. The Landfill Archive includes scanned images
of leftover materials and short descriptions of the projects they publicized
and enabled. Each issue of Landfill Quarterly will contain selected pieces
of ephemera from the Archive and a printed journal that contextualizes the
objects through essays, images, and interviews. Landfill has three aims: to
provide projects with a second venue for reception, to build a cumulative and
nonlinear history of socially engaged practice, and to pull diverse practices into
conversation by reframing them in writing.
Attend the conversation about Landfill at Field Work on Friday, May 13th at
4pm (just after parallel sessions). In addition to discussing the project, we’ll be
accepting material submissions. If you have ephemera from past projects you
would like included in the Archive, please bring them.
