	Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid is a 16mm colour documentary film of the K Foundation burning a million pounds in cash on the island of Jura.
		The K Foundation destroyed the film, feeling that the public had to have faith that the burning had taken place, rather than proof.
		They threatened to burn the K Foundation art award prize money (Gimpo was fumbling with matches and lighter fluid when, at the last moment, Rachel Whiteread accepted the prize).

	K Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The K Foundation was wound up on November 5th, 1995 when Drummond and Cauty selected the incredibly obscure "Workshop For A Non-Linear Architecture" bulletin to announce a moratorium on K Foundation projects.
		The first manifestation of the K Foundation was a series of adverts in UK national newspapers (both in the magazine supplements of the quality broad sheets and in the tabloid press), with each advert costing between £5,000 and £15,000.
		Whiteread initially refused to accept the K Foundation award, but after being told that the money would be incinerated, she reluctantly accepted and later donated £30,000 of the money to artists in financial need and the other £10,000 to the housing charity, Shelter.

	K Foundation Burn a Million Quid - Chris Brook, ed.
		One thing their K Foundation did with these riches was sponsor an Anti-Turner Prize for worst British artist, awarding it to Rachel Whiteread (who also won the actual Turner Prize in the same year) and giving her £ 40,000 for the honour.
		The K Foundation's act, however, does serve as a reminder of what an unusual thing money is, and what an odd role we allow it to play in our lives.
		By simply withdrawing it permanently from circulation the K Foundation calls many of our basic assumptions into question -- a point that can be (and often is) made in theoretical fashion, but does take on a very different feel when someone actually puts it into practise.

	marc robinson - Watching The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid
		I don't think so; the Burning is of a species of activity which Debord called detournement, which is neither didactic nor dialectic; you don't stand around explaining detournement.
		Most people encountering the fact of the Burning have probably considered at some point what they might have done with the money, which is very much like imagining how you'll spend your lottery jackpot, when it comes.
		We can also wonder how things might have gone if the Burning had been undertaken by famously conventional Mick Hucknall, who is surely much better able to afford it, rather than by renowned anarcho-pranksters the K Foundation.
