Research : River Cubes – Bob Johnson The cubes that Bob Johnson creates with the help of students and other artists are all made out of trash and things collected from public places. All the things that form part of the cubes have been prevented from becoming part of a landfill or prevented from polluting rivers and the environment. Ironically the cubes have been placed in the same places that they were collected from or places where the contents of these cubes could have ended up in. Such as river sides and city walkways. But now they hold a new purpose. Their new purpose is to raise eyebrows and make people walking by wonder as to what are these cubes doing there. The cubes make people wonder as to why the cubes are made out of trash and undesirable things such as tires, wood and rusty metal. Every cube serves as reminders as to what could have become of its contents and that just because we bury and don’t see our trash, it does not mean it is not still in existence. Citation
