“For Here or To Go,” Cliff House, San Francisco, California,

Point Reyes artists Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang collected plastic debris on Kehoe Beach near Inverness and turned it into an assembly line of meals on plates awaiting delivery to Goldsworthy’s clay tables. The piece is so realistic that some visitors to the opening mistook it for the lunch being served.

It was intentional: Fish eat the plastic and humans eat the fish, so we will end up eating the plastic one way or the other.

“We want to bring visitors’ attention to the very complex conversation around climate change,” said For-Site founder Cheryl Haines, noting that the show opened during COP26, the international climate conference in Glasgow. “We shouldn’t just leave this to government and industry to solve. There is also an individual responsibility to effect change in our own lives.”
