TRASH

Bad Art Presents Trash, an exhibition made to be destroyed.

We are looking for artworks to feature in a night only exhibition. All the selected artwork will be destroyed over the course of the evening. Trash seeks to challenge the norms of an art world that perpetuates a legacy of privilege, exploring new transitory experiences and giving voice to the unheard . The audience will destroy the artwork, taking agency from the artist and celebrating the communal and the tactile after months of isolated inertia. When is the show complete? Is it before, during or after the destruction?

Although not implicitly stated, the underlying implication of the exhibition is to reflect on the gleeful destruction of society and the environment throughout the world today. Trash will later become a touring show, with A Pilastra, Brasilia and with APXIV Collective in Moscow. However, selected artwork will only be shown in the London exhibition.

Send us your work for a chance for it to be totally destroyed

Trash will take place at a brand new gallery, Fredrica, in Hackney Central on TBA

One night only!
