One of Britains best artists working today whos' most famous piece 'Break down' saw him destroy all 7226 of his wordly posessions, just the thought feels liberating.
Art Bin, a 600 cubic metre galvanised steel bin at South London Gallery, a depositry for art to be thrown art. He set the ball rolling by asking a few well known names to throw away work, Tracy Emin, Damien Hirst, Julian Opie, Gary Hume but the general public are free to bring thier own work along. The final decision if a work can be binned is Michaels, people have tried making new work just to be binned, not in keeping with the idea at all. What is even worse is aspirant artists using it as a vehicle to have thier work alongside Damiens three skull paintings or Tacys rubbish. Of course, he has presented the press with that very headline, modern art being rubbish. However, so far, I havn't seen a poor enough jpournalist drop to that level.
