Living

The British conceptualist, Gavin Turk often interrogates ideas of authenticity and parody, questioning fine art's value system. In the early aughts, Turk started constructing these painstakingly accurate black bags of garbage made purely out of cast bronze and mixed paint that made exhibitions look like they were a second away from being closed and cleaned out. The Museum would like to present American Bag, one of Turk's many hyperrealistic piles of trash that showcases the devolution of fine art being made from scratch only to end up tossed & discarded, while skipping the middle man completely, and just going straight to trash.
