Democratic destruction, a collaborative effort to question pricing systems and the financial value of art throgh disrupting the perceived quality or personal value.

First shown at Twenty One Southend as part of the TOMA interim show ‘Patchwork Arcade’ and then at Art Hub Gallery, Deptford as part of ‘Human Remains’ a show of Pat Lunch & Fredrix Vermin and most recently at Bow Arts open Studio in The Lake Side Centre.

‘The market is a terrorist.’

On all occaisions I have also been present at some point bootlegging works similar to that held in the dispensary. 

After making a selection participants may choose to discard the artwork in the Bargain Basket. I regularly would restock the Dispensary from the Bargain Basket.
