Broken everyday objects or packaging are reworked in such a way that new products are created that are used for other purposes than originally intended. Waste is thus upgraded.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Upcycling is therefore a form of recycling. Upcycling contributes to resource conservation and thus to nature and climate protection. Unlike pure recycling, however, upcycling is not an industrial process. In recycling, for example, an old plastic bottle is crushed by machine and used to make a new one. In upcycling, for example, a musical instrument is created from the plastic bottle by filling and gluing it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4204237\" data-id=\"4204237\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_gallery&quot;:[],&quot;background_slideshow_loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_duration&quot;:5000,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_transition_duration&quot;:500}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28410b2 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"28410b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26560\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kunstlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Upcycling-Kunst-Adam-Stubley-12-2048x1365-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-41ba6e4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"41ba6e4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-55fb8cb\" data-id=\"55fb8cb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff81fd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ff81fd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Upcycling Art?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31f594a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31f594a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In contemporary art, upcycling as a creative use of existing material is apparently establishing itself as a growing trend. Works of art made from rubbish hold up a mirror to our throwaway society and address the resource consciousness of a young, new generation, emphasises publisher Christiane Goetz-Weimer in her article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theeuropean.de\/christiane-goetz-weimer\/upcycling-trend-in-der-kunst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"No future without origin - upcycling is an art of the heart\".<\/a><\/p><p>The origin of upcycling art is attributed to the so-called ready-mades by Marcel Duchamps and the Dadaists. In 1913, Duchamps created the work \"Bicycle Wheel\" from a front wheel and fork attached to an old stool, i.e. from bulky waste. Duchamps' ready-mades broke with the previous tradition of art: Duchamps declared pre-existing, found everyday objects to be art. It was thus in the eye of the beholder to ascribe to the object a status as a work of art. This was especially true of Duchamp's Ready-Made Fountain (1917), an ordinary, disused urinal that caused a great stir in the art world. The \"Bull's Head\" (1942) made from a bicycle handlebar and saddle by Pablo Picasso can also be counted among the first works of upcycled art.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a2fad56 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a2fad56\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ff75505\" data-id=\"ff75505\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00328c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"00328c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which upcycling artists can be discovered in KUNSTLABOR 2?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e180892 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e180892\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a cultural interim use project, KUNSTLABOR 2 in Dachauer Stra\u00dfe is in itself a major upcycling or re-use project.

For the festival, nationally or internationally active artists are to implement the theme of upcycling on an oversized scale in publicly accessible spaces in the city. The main aim of the project is to make \"a clear statement on sustainability\" and to draw attention to the excesses of the throwaway society. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-890cb8a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"890cb8a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cfbe4b6\" data-id=\"cfbe4b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3c7f65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d3c7f65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is there upcycling from famous works of art? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59b0891 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59b0891\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4171d31\" data-id=\"4171d31\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af3dcf4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af3dcf4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the autumn of 2021, just over a year after his death, the Veiling artist's heartfelt project was presented in Paris.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muca.eu\/artists\/christo-jean-claude-ausstellung-muenchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Christo<\/a>presented to the public. For \"Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped\", the Parisian landmark was wrapped in 25,000 square metres of silver-blue, recyclable polypropylene fabric, tied with 3,000 metres of rope.<\/p><p>Christo and his wife and partner Jean-Claude, who died in 2009, had been planning this project since 1962. The artist couple always worked with recyclable fabric for their art objects. This was also because their wrapping art was ephemeral art, which for Christo was an \"expression of freedom\" and part of his aesthetic concept.<\/p><p>This approach by Christo and Jean-Claude is taken up by the \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/upwrapping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#UpWrapping<\/a>-The collective has taken to Instagram to address the foundation of the deceased artists. The #UpWrapping collective is a group of 50 French textile and fashion companies that promote the upcycling of textiles and call on the fashion industry to become more regional and circular. They made suggestions to the Christo Foundation via social media on how to give the artwork a second life after it has been dismantled. These included the idea of transforming it into solidarity carrier bags that could be used by people in need to donate clothes or food. Or to create furniture from it for the 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p><p>As far as is known, the Christo Foundation did not take up the ideas. However, the approach of upcycling art that is already conceived as ephemeral and recyclable remains interesting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is upcycling?
