Stack 1975

Editor: This is Tony Cragg’s *Stack*, and it's constructed from found materials like wood, metal, and plastic. It's really imposing. What does this accumulation of everyday objects suggest to you? Curator: It speaks volumes about consumer culture and waste. Think about the sheer volume of discarded materials in industrialized societies. Cragg is making a statement about our relationship with objects, their lifecycle, and the environmental impact. Editor: So, you're saying it's not just a random collection, but a conscious commentary? Curator: Absolutely. The stack becomes a monument to excess, prompting viewers to reflect on what we value and what we discard. How do you feel that the Tate being the location shapes this piece? Editor: Good point. It gives "Stack" a level of legitimacy. I see it differently now!
