In a playful homage to Piero Manzoni, who 60 years ago created one of the most radical and challenging modern artworks, Merda d'Artista. Manzoni put his own sh*t into tins and sold it for its equivalent weight in gold. Gavin Turk's latest project is a response to this, CANning his own urine and selling it for its weight in sliver.
Gavin has been collecting his urine for over two years and now it's time to CAN and collect. Sealed in a bespoke aluminium CAN, specially screen printed with the text translations in 31 different languages, finished and hand signed with a foil seal. A limited edition body of work from the Artist's own body.
