Michael Landy

Art Bin is a major new installation by Michael Landy transforming the South London Gallery into a container for the disposal of works of art. Landy famously destroyed all his possessions in his 2001 installation Break Down and this enormous work similarly raises issues around disposal, destruction, value and ownership. Over the course of the exhibition, as people take up Landy’s invitation to discard their art works, it forms what he describes as “a monument to creative failure”. Anyone can apply to dispose of art works in Art Bin by bringing them to the gallery or applying online at www.art-bin.co.uk.

  1. To be a good lenient being is to from a kind of openness to the in the seventh heaven, an ability to trust unsure things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding with the prerequisite of the ethical life: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a spy than like a prize, something somewhat feeble, but whose extremely particular handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
