But is it art? 29.01.10.

At the South London Gallery, Peckham on Jan 28th 2010, artist Michael Landy began chucking into a pre-arranged 'skip-like' container rejected works of art by artists of various denominations to form a 'monument to creative failure.' Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Gillean Wearing, as well as artists unknown (members of the public) will have him lob work they consider to have failed or perhaps stuff they got sick of having into the installation called 'Art Bin'. The project will last for six weeks.

Has-been artists bin
art in Landy's landfill. Ah
yes, but is it art?
