art question

[The Geek Vault]

Does anyone one know the name of the type of art where you take apart like cans and bottles and junk and make it into interesting statues? I've googled all over looking for this. Also so this thread doesn't go to complete waste, I dedicate this thread to talk about art.

You mean found-object art I think?

Assemblage more precisely, probably.

Thanks so much Runt! I'm writing an essay on art and had no idea what you called that type. Have you ever tried found object art?
