Subject: Michael Landy: Art Bin opens 28 Jan, 6.30-8.30pm

To: sheila.e.price@gmail.com

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.

Missing

 

 

                                Has anyone seen our monkey? 6:00pm Wednesday 21st July 2010          

Organisers of a popular event at Longleat are appealing for anyone who can help track down a lost monkey suit.
The Meddle the Monkey costume went missing at the Tractor Ted Farm Show, which took place in the grounds of Longleat over the weekend of July 3/4.
If you have any information about the costume call Farm Show Director, David Horler, on 01373 834500.
A reward of £100 is offered for the safe return in good condition of the full costume.

It shouldn't happen to a monkey...

Police Arrest Innocent Monkey

Where do we begin?

The Monkeys had an idea...
to use our identity as monkeys for an art project.
Will we be taken seriously as artists without people knowing who we are?
How could we do this?
We need a cunning plan.....
What if we dress in monkey suits and attend art galleries and shows
There we will engage with those there...?
We can take these moments and bring them together at a show.


The Monkeys like the idea.
Borrowed from the DADAists to gather inspiration and put it in a cabinet..a vitrine.
This  is our cabinet

We need monkey suits
We need a method to record and make art...an i pad
We need to get started.....

Suits you....
