MONEY TO BURN?
Words: Artbug D
How to be an Artist is Bill Drummond's latest project. resulting in an exhibition, performance and book launch shown previously at the CCA. Over the years Drummond has used many strategies to interrogate and subvert the cultural landscape. including pop music (JAMMS. Timelords and KLF). writing (The Manual. Bad Wisdom and 45) and actions (the alleged burning of Elm).
This recent project charts his relationship With an original photograph, A Smell of Sulphur in the Wind by his favourite artist.

Richard Long. Drummond purchased the piece in 1995 (for the Sum of 820.000) and after the initial euphoria of purchase. he gradually became complacent towards it until he was eventually bored. What happened next was a series of projects. including producing an edition of 'For Sale' placards and distributing them throughout Britain on an intensive tour, to Drummond deciding to divvy up the work into 20.000 pieces and sell them at a dollar a throw. The CCA exhibition featured documentation of all stages of this process and Drummond and his assistants were present. cutting and trading the sections and enCOLiraging you to buy.
Drummond is a difficult character to define and. as with much of his artistic endeavours. is full of contradictions. He seems to court the very audience he wishes to defy. and as a result seems unclear of exactly where his direction lies. He is able to indulge a large sum on a w0rk by an artist he allegedly admires. yet gets bored with it rather gtiickly. resulting in him eventually destrOying it. all in the name of art. The financial implications of this act at once puts him in a privileged position. where money does really allow him to talk.
