Haackes
Rhinewater Purification Plant stands as the historical precedent for
artists like Betty Beaumont, Jackie Brookner, Tim Collins, Betsy Damon,
Reiko Goto, Basia Irland, Stacy Levy, Ocean Earth, Aviva Rahmani, and
Buster Simpson, whose art concerns water quality. By displaying the
Krefeld Sewage Plants murky discharge, officially treated enough
to return to the Rhine River, Haacke brought attention to the plants
role in degrading the river. By pumping the water through an additional
filtration system and using the surplus water to water the museums
garden, he introduced gray-water reclamation. |
