Total Crap, 2015-2019.
Inside my painted suitcase I have 100 small hand made white papier-mâché boxes painted with statements like ‘Total Crap’, ‘Total Crap Job’ ‘Total Crap policy’.
I set myself up as a travelling sales man, selling total crap. Total Crap is always £9.99. I promote the work in different ways by telling the audience that ‘this work is appreciating big time, selling on eBay for £100’s - being shown in exhibitions all over the world - in Zurich, London, New York and Milan’. The titles and statements painted on the boxes of ‘Total Crap’ are related to current topics, people can engage with ‘Total Crap’ on a humorous, political, economic or philosophical way. It functions as an art-prop to discuss topics with the public and to make a little money. I have made over £5000 currently from selling Total Crap. Making new pieces of Total Crap for sale each month.
