His close collaborations with the likes of Vivienne Westwood and The Rolling Stones have brought him to the forefront of British culture cementing him in the zeitgeist as hero of the counterculture movement. Joe Rush is showcasing his monumental, mechanical sculptures and working on some smaller characters made from the scrap pile, these characters he finds amongst discarded tools and mechanical objects and with his unique style and humour he assembles them and often casts them in bronze. In the centre of a Rush installation, Johnny Depp recently said “The whole world should look like this”. He is the founder of Mutoid Waste Company, a performance arts collective of artists.[1][2][3] CareerIn 1980, Rush exhibited at The Car Breaker Gallery in Frestonia, London.[4] In 1984, he founded the Mutoid Waste Company, an underground travelling collective of artists. That same year, he launched the first "Installation Party" in the disused Kings Cross coach station. From then on, he produced installations of his pieces in environments he mutated, occupying derelict warehouses and factories.[5] Throughout the eighties he built techno-industrial sculptures at parties and festivals, and then travelled across both Western and Eastern Europe to continue the work. From making a "car henge" at Glastonbury (stone circle made out of cars), he progressed to using armoured personnel carriers and fighter planes in Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. After leaving Britain for many years, Rush returned to the UK where he and his crew became involved with robotics and animation, as well as organising Mutoid Waste Company projects around the world.[6] He has had other art displayed around the country, like "X-Ray Ted Mosquito" as part of Liverpool Discovers 2011.[7] In 2012, Kim Gavin entrusted to Joe Rush the art direction and creation of the vehicles, mobile stages and props of the London Paralympics Closing Ceremony. The press unanimously praised the subversive and original aesthetics of this show dedicated to the margins.[8] In July 2018 Joe Rush opened his first solo exhibition entitled ‘Stories From the Wasteland’ to huge critical acclaim at the fashionable Bruton Art Factory References1. ^{{cite news |title='I mutate waste, it's creative chaos' |first=Paul |last=Lewis |work=The Guardian |date=21 April 2008 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/arts/audio/2008/apr/21/paul.lewis.junkyard.glastonbury |accessdate= }} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Bringing the Streets to the Saleroom: Urban Art Back at Bonhams |work=Huffington Post |date=21 September 2011 |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/20/bringing-the-streets-to-t_n_972689.html |accessdate= }} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Glastonbury festival 2011 gets ready – in pictures |work=The Guardian |date=20 June 2011 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2011/jun/20/glastonbury-festival-2011-in-pictures |accessdate= }} 4. ^Car Breaker Poster 5. ^Medici Gallery.
