Michael Landy transforms the South London Gallery space into a large container where people can dispose of their art works destined for landfill. Only those works accepted by the artist or his representative and, over the course of the exhibition's six-week run the Art Bin will gradually fill up, resulting in 'a monument to creative failure'. If deemed worthy of chucking, pieces will join a bad Peter Blake and some works by Landy's fellow YBAs. A participant in the landmark Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy, Landy once famously destroyed all his possessions in a former C & A store on Oxford Street. In that 2001 installation, 'Break Down', and through this new work he raises questions around issues of disposal, destruction, value and ownership.About South London Gallery
