Henry here….

Back from hibernation; nothing much to report except this load of b*ll*cks that seems to be grabbin’ the headlines. It’s about some nutter destroyng art in the name of art. Artist Michael Landy, who once destroyed all his possessions in the name of art, has turned a gallery into a giant bin for the disposal of artworks. Over the next six weeks, hundreds of works by artists both famous and unknown will be dumped in a 600m³ container called the “Art Bin” at the South London Gallery.

Damien Hirst is being joined by artists including Tracey Emin, Peter Blake and Gary Hume in donating works they deem failures for Michael’s Art Bin. From 29 January until 14 March 2010 the Art Bin will gradually fill up to create ’a monument to creative failure’. I’ve even heard that Banksy will making a contribution. I don’t think any of my artist friends will be donating, they can’t afford to… mind you, if I could get my paws on one or two of these rejects… hmmm!
