Scrapclub is a Destructivist art project exploring the motivations and effects of acts of destruction. We see it more than just blind rage release but also an activity that poses questions about value, heritage, vandalism and issues of waste. It also elucidates an angle of human object relationships, the actual physical interaction between human and machine that goes against the prescribed, consumer driven, planned obsolescence motivated production line.
Art objects. We love the disfigured objects resulting from the destructive fury. Each object starts out identical on the production line and ends up uniquely distorted at Scrapclub by the invested emotional cathartic energy.
We supply you with sledgehammers and pipes to DESTROY various household objects such as TVs, washing machines, cookers, computers, musical instruments, office furniture and the occasional car….
all the objects are beyond their original use….everything destroyed is scrap…if it works we don’t use it…. All the remains get recycled appropriately.
Safety is of course paramount so you will be provided with professional safety equipment such as goggles, helmets and gloves (professional first-aiders are always on hand just in case)
