TRASH

Bad Art Presents Trash - a group exhibition of contemporary artists who have created work for the purpose of its own destruction.

25/06/24, Greatorex Street

Trash seeks to protest art as an imperishable, precious institution, focusing more on the transient and experiential. The artwork will be destroyed over the course of the evening, introducing, chance, chaos, sugar, spice and everything (not) nice into its fate. When is the show complete? Is it before, during or after the destruction?

With Trash, we are questioning and transforming the fundamental condition of how modern art functions – namely, the radical separation of artists and their publics.
