All the Tyres from Iceland: NDSM, Amsterdam

22 September – 24 November 2025

All the Tyres from Iceland is a sculptural project by Michael Pinsky that has transformed discarded tyres—imported from Iceland to the Port of Amsterdam for recycling—into monumental site-specific installations. By temporarily diverting tyres from GRANUBAND’s recycling process, the work reimagines these objects of negative value as striking forms that evoke both minimalist art and the vast infrastructures of global trade. In doing so, the project highlights the paradoxes of circular economies, where waste becomes resource, and invites reflection on the systems, logistics, and values that shape our relationship with what we discard. This project is part of the european Starts4Water programme and is hosted by WAAG futurelab and the Port of Amsterdam.
