Throw your Art in the Bin

Michael Landy transforms the SLG into 'Art Bin', a container for the disposal of works of art. As people discard their art works the enormous 600m³ bin becomes, in Michael Landy’s words, “a monument to creative failure”.

Until 14 March 2010 works can be brought to the South London Gallery to be disposed of in 'Art Bin' from Tuesday to Sunday, 12-6pm. Alternatively, artists and collectors can visit www.art-bin.co.uk to apply to dispose of works, multiple applications are welcome.
