 * Merge to Michael Landy. Landy's a British artist.  He made a transparent waste bin in which he invited people to discard unwanted works of art, the Art Bin.  He was making a statement.  Soon as I figure out what it was.... - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:02, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Meh. No strong feelings on this I wrote the article; would be happy enough with a merge to Landy's article. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   15:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Meh-urge. Er, Merge.  Notable but makes more sense in context of the artist's other work.  Several Times (talk) 19:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Before Landy's one-off work, there was the Art Bin, an early cultural website recalled with affection from 1995; book discussion in "Art in Sweden: leaving the empty cube : contemporary Swedish art" (1998), "Magazines for libraries" (1998), "The European history highway: a guide to Internet resources" (2002) etc; possibly enough notability for a repurposed article at some point.

 * Delete I've blended info and the reference from this article into the Michael Landy article (which is rather under-referenced anyway). That - and any more info that anyone might choose to add - seems sufficient for an artwork best just covered in the context of an article discussing this artist and his work.
