Over the past couple of days, Michael Craig-Martin, Gary Hume and Gillian Wearing (Landy’s partner) have had work accepted, making it a very classy dustbin indeed. (You have to apply: not everyone’s knitting is worthy of inclusion in Landy's “monument to creative failure”.)
Artists and collectors are invited to apply to dispose of works of art via a dedicated website. Landy is an English artist, one of the Young British Artists (YBAs) best known for the performance piece installation, ‘Break Down’ (2001), in which he destroyed all of his possessions.
