Artists have a history of destroying work that they're not happy with. Cezanne, Bacon, de Kooning, Monet: all are known to have destroyed pieces for a variety of different reasons.
One of the most famous examples in recent years was Michael Landy's 2001 work Break Down in which the artist incinerated every single one of his possessions, including his artwork.
And now, this year, he's hosting something called Art Bin, a project which sees the South London Gallery turned into a dumping ground for unwanted art.
The idea is to create "a monument to creative failure". A load of old rubbish? Quite possibly.
Until 14.03.10.
