> Former KLF star BILL DRUMMOND is to launch a new exhibition called 'HOW TO
> BE AN ARTIST' in LONDON tonight (October 26).
>
> In a press release, the star describes the concept as something which has
> "evolved into a journey, a book, an exhibition and a performance, all
> sharing the same title".
> The full press release explains:
>
> "In 1995 Bill Drummond bought a piece of work by his favourite contemporary
> artist, Richard Long, for $20,000. It was a photograph called 'A Smell Of
> Sulphur In The Wind'. Now he�s using it to investigate price, meaning, value
> and exactly what role art should play in our lives.
>
> "Bill hung 'A Smell Of Sulphur In The Wind' on his bedroom wall and was very
> pleased. Five years later he realised that he no longer had any sort of
> relationship with what had been his favourite work of art, so he decided to
> do something about it. So far this doing something about it has evolved into
> a journey, a book, an exhibition and a performance, all sharing the same
> title, How To Be An Artist.
>
> "These forthcoming shows are the first performances of this fascinating show
> and exhibition in London after successful runs throughout the UK over the
> past 18 months.
>
> "Warning: There is nothing in this exhibition or performance that can be
> construed as a step-by-step guide to being and artist of any kind."
>
> The exhibition, which is not suitable for those under the age of 16, takes
> place at the artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley in
> north London. Performances take place from October 26-28, November 1-4 and
> 8-11. Tickets are �10, and can be purchased from the box office on 020 8449
> 0048.
