Putting coal ash to good use
Coal ash from power stations and steam generators continues to accumulate across the country. As a result, the South African Coal Ash Association (SACAA) has called for private and public sectors to explore ways of incorporating coal ash into their everyday supply chains.
SACAA director, Belinda Heichler, says there are a myriad of uses for the coal ash that range from cement blending, cement-less concrete production, brick making, road stabilisation, to plastic additives, agricultural uses and neutralising acid mine drainage. SACAA would like to assist in creating awareness of the benefits of coal ash in these applications.
The beauty of an art museum without walls is how it can take advantage of the global village of artists and a whole planet full of untapped exhibition spaces, both formal and quirkily informal, from the majesty of Red Rocks Amphitheatre to a parking lot. Even with a permanent Denver headquarters that opened in 2019, Black Cube Nomadic Museum’s Cortney Lane Stell, who’s been at the museum’s helm as director and curator since it launched just over five years ago, always finds new ways to integrate art into the world at large.
That s a freedom many curators never get to have, and the imperturbable Stell knows it, especially in a pandemic-driven year. So the “intentially nomadic” Black Cube hasn’t been thwarted like other arts institutions, she says, and continues to work at full speed, while making some adjustments to make sure that artists suffering hard times get paid for their work.
