Rutkovsky’s work often demystifies technology
through objects that that might have been made following
instructions for a science kit. He has a long-standing
interest in trash as cultural residue, and a way of
marking personal movement. In his series of Daily Garbage
Journals, he records products purchased as well as trash
collected to track personal consumption. Begun in 1999,
Rudkovsky is now on his 7th Journal. Garbage Jacket
is comprised of trash collected and glued together to
form a sports jacket, like other work in the exhibition
it combines handicraft techniques with trash collecting
to underscore activities that we take for granted.
Rutkovsky has created work with Papier Mache Video Institute
(PMVI), Window on Gaines, an alternative exhibition
space, and DOO DAAA FLORIDA, a tabloid newspaper in
Tallahassee, FL. He has collaborated with Steve Bradley
who is also in this exhibition. His work has been exhibited
at Purse Building Gallery, Houston TX, Walt Whitman
Museum, Camden, NJ, and the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Sao Paulo Brazil. For more information on his work visit
