Elevator Gallery, White Post Lane, Hackney, E9 5EN

How Much: Free!

Notorious corgi-eater and Jade Goody deathbed-re-enacter Mark McGowan sets up shop in Hackney Wick's Elevator Gallery for a month of performance-related shenanigans.

As far as we can tell, the title of the performance doesn't only relate to Damien Hirst's shark in formaldehyde but to a blog post by Paul Carr in which the author slated McGowan's artistic practice. In it, Carr wrote that, "McGowan is a performance artist because he is too much of a simpleton to be trusted with paint. He'd probably try to eat it. Or fuck it."

It'll certainly be interesting to see what McGowan's response is...

Until 02.05.10.
