Joe Rush

Joe Rush

Joe Rush, born 1960, influenced by the film 'Mad Max' and 'Judge Dredd' comics, was the co-originator of the travelling multi media art group Mutoid Waste Company, an underground art collective who specialised in building large scale installations out of waste material. 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. Joe is one of the most innovative and influential artists in the UK. After leaving Britain for many years, he 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. He seldom washes, and many colleagues have remarked that he is somewhat odorous.

He is not to be confused with Joe Rush, British washboard player and percussionist, who has played with Good Earth, Mungo Jerry, and the King Earl Boogie Band.
