Asian Machine
Tool Exhibition (AMTEX-2014), being held in New Delhi from July 25 to
28, will feature an interesting segment wherein artistes who can
transform junk metal into works of art can showcase their talent.
Cyril
Pereira, organiser of AMTEX-2014, said in a release that the exhibition
is open to all. “Scrap metal consists of recyclable materials having
significant monetary value, unlike waste,” said a release. Citing
examples of works that will be on display, the release said that James
Corbett from Australia has used machine tool junk and created a scrap
metal tractor. Brian Mock, a master welder, has created the sculpture of
a guitar. The exhibition will also showcase a football created out of
junk metal, in keeping with the FIFA fever.
