Waste to Monument: John Latham’s Niddrie Woman

This peer-reviewed article developed from the conference paper ‘Waste as ‘Monumental Process Sculpture’: John Latham and Niddrie Heart’ and is one of a series relating to ‘Art & Environment’ brought together in a special issue (issue 17) of Tate Papers by Stephen Daniels and Nicholas Alfrey, following the ‘Art & Environment’ conference held at Tate Britain, 26 June, 2010. Richardson's conference paper was the concluding output of his research project Landscape as Conceptual Art funded within the AHRC Theme Landscape and Environment scheme, and this article is the most definitive publication to offer clarification of Latham's aims, as well as the outcome and contemporary preservation requirements, which resulted from his sanctioned reconceptualisation of a constellation of shale 'bings' in West Lothian during the mid-1970s.
