It's satutrday night in a warehouse in London, a load of old tv's, computers, fridges and other electrical goods sit in a pile. Behind a metal fence about 60 men and women stand apprehensive and excited, waiting to smash them all to pieces. This is scrap club, a burgeoning underground event set up by artists Joel nCahen and Wajid Yaseen.
The public pay£10 and sign a safety disclaimer. Then they get 10 minutes to destroy. It may sound an unusual way to spend an evening yet last saturdays event, thew first in east london, sold out almost immediately. To source thier junk, the a
rtistic duo scour the streets in a van, universities donate a lot too. After each scrap club they sift through the remains and recycle all usable metal. Everyone is provided with goggles and hardhats and st johns ambulance stand by in case of accidents. Everyone who has watched telly or used a computer must want a go.
