“Centred on the belief that art can educate, inspire and create awareness, the work gives new value and purpose to materials considered waste — a reminder that the Earth is the only address we have.”
Material
From discard to record
Planet-B follows material as well as authorship. This is the route the archive tracks, and the reason work made from recovered material is preserved the way it is.
01
Discard
Something is thrown away. At that moment it has no value to anyone.
02
Material
Somebody recognises it as a material rather than as rubbish. That recognition is a learned skill.
03
Work
It is cut, cleaned, joined and composed into an object made on purpose.
04
Memory
The object carries where it came from. The material is still legible in the finished work.
05
Record
The work, its maker and its materials enter an archive that outlives all three.
The catalogue records this work’s material as discarded items. It does not record which specific object became which part of the piece, so the archive does not say.
The archive
Planet-B does not only preserve artworks. It preserves the people, the materials, the ideas and the circumstances that give those works meaning.
That is why this page holds more than a picture and a title. Abduljabbar Hasheem Saidu’s contribution to Planet-B is one work in one chapter, and it was made by somebody with a career that reaches far outside it. The archive records both, keeps them clearly apart, and does not flatten one into the other.
Identity
Planet Passport
A permanent identifier for one person's contribution. It is not a profile and it is never a score: it exists so that a record can still be found, and checked, long after the people who made it have moved on.
