Notes:

"This publication is the product of an exhibition, 'Refuse Reuse: Language for the Common Landfill' that accumulated over 10 days at the Crane Arts building in Philadelphia, PA. The exhibition spaces began empty, and during the course of the show city trash was collected, sorted and reused in both object and idea. A pair of volunteers, journaling and mapping their experiences independently performed a randomized nightly trash pickup. Upon arrival, bags were sorted and separated, their non-organic contents isolated and sanitized. A large hanger sized exhibition space (and former walk-in freezer) served as the display area for the salvage. ... Visitors were invited to stop by and experience the project as it developed, with both exhibition and publication completed in entirety at the end of the 10-day period, Wednesday November 28, 2012."--http://layofthelands.tumblr.com/
