Democratic destruction, a collaborative effort to question the pricing systems and financial value of art by disruption, through interrupting the perceived, market or personal value.

First installed at Twenty One Southend as part of the TOMA interim show ‘Patchwork Arcade’ with Bootlegged edition given out for free from the Mandy House Mark I, temporarily located outside Focal Point Gallery. Then installed at Art Hub Gallery, Deptford as part of ‘Human Remains’ a show of Pat Lunch & Fredrix Vermin. Most recently installed at the inaugeral Bow Arts open Studio in The Lake Side Centre with more bootlegs sold as cards and traded for drinks.

‘The market is a terrorist.’

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. A re-evaluating loop.
