Culture Now: Michael Landy

Michael Landy in conversation with ICA director Gregor Muir on Scrapheap Services (1995) having to shred 2000 misprinted crates, cataloguing the entirety of his world belongings which lead to Break Down (2001): destroying the entirety of his worldly belongings that included valeting his car to be destroyed and Gary Humes asking for a painting he gave him for his birthday back. Also his bin watercolours and his painted bronze Self-Portrait as Rubbish Bin (2012) made in China for the Royal Academy 2012 Summer Exhibition that he’s precious about people throwing rubbish into.
