		The elevations that Michael Landy marked up were strongly reminiscent of the body maps that cosmetic surgeons prepare (and Jenny Saville has painted) prior to an operation.

		Michael Landy’s meticulous etchings of urban foliage seem a dramatic departure for an artist best known for installations on a vast scale.
		It is this ability of Landy’s to draw a range of aesthetic expectations into telling relation with the kinds of spaces we inhabit that has made him one of the most interesting artists to emerge in Britain in recent years.
		Landy has managed to avoid any overly romantic references to the canon of high art by sourcing textual information and visual references solely from botanical guides and dictionaries.

		Michael Landy is destroying all his possessions - including clothes, photos and an archive of valuable art - in his new show.
		Landy's stated objective is to comment on consumerism, to show us how attached we are to our possessions and how we tend to define ourselves according to the stuff that surrounds us.
		Landy's critics have found his work a little preachy, slightly holier-than-thou, while his supporters believe him to be one of the few truly political artists working in Britain at the moment.

		Michael Landy won extensive public and media attention in 2001 with Break Down, his installation at the former C&A department store in London's Oxford Street.
		For two weeks, Landy publicly destroyed all his worldly possessions--including his Saab, passport and clothes, along with his own and other artists' works--in a spectacular, almost ritualistic fashion that entailed a highly precise division of labor to catalogue and shred all his holdings, a total of 7,227 items.
		Landy has been so strongly identified with Break Down that it is startling to see that he was able to move on.

		Over the next two weeks, the artist and his nine assistants, all dressed in the same blue overalls, will break down into their constituent parts more than 7,000 items that were once his, the material sum total of the artist's life.
		As Landy's personal effects and consumer fetishes are reduced to base matter, the witnessing crowd is framed by its own baggage, and by Oxford Street itself.

		Once the thing is ground into powder, it is then weighed, and then categorised by material, so that at the end of the project Landy will be able to tell you what percentage of his possessions was metal, plastic, wood, cloth or paper.
		Landy's art is quintessentially modern because it is so ruthlessly efficient, so mechanised.

		After creating a meticulous inventory of all his possessions, Landy set about systematically destroying them over a two-week period in what he described as a consumerist experiment in identity.
		Landy was born in London in 1963, where he continues to live and work.
		Landy has been included in numerous group shows in this country and abroad, most recently Micro/Macro: British Art 1996-2002, organised by the British Council for the Mucsarnok Kunsthalle, Budapest (2003); Shopping: Art and Consumer Culture, at the Kunstverein Frankfurt and Tate Liverpool (2002-3) and the São Paulo Bienal (2002).

	Break Down, Michael Landy
		Landy's anti-consumerist point was well-made simply in showing how difficult it is to get rid of things properly.
		The most striking example of this was a fist-sized piece of fluff, that had once been part of Landy's father's sheepskin jacket (the possession seized on by the media as the symbol of the whole exercise).
		I don't really know anything more about Michael Landy having spent four hours with him, except that he has nothing now, and that he will be dogged by people wanting to know what he's going to make, or destroy next, or for that matter do with his acquisitions.

		Dressed in blue overalls and working with a team of a dozen assistants, Landy is systematically destroying everything he owns, the accumulation of thirtysomething years of his life, including his passport and birth certificate.
		The ultimate irony of Break Down is that, as soon as it ends, Landy will have turned himself into the ideal consumer – a man who needs to be sold new underwear, pyjamas, shoes, toothbrush, hairbrush.
		Destruction of property is nothing new in art –; Delacroix depicted it in The Death of Sardanapalus, and Robert Rauschenberg actually did it when he erased a drawing by his mentor, Willem de Kooning.

		Known as one of the most thought-provoking artists of the ‘Sensation Generation’, Landy's work was first shown in the legendary 'Freeze' exhibition of 1988.
		Through the 1990s, Landy's work has explored contemporary consumerism in a sequence of major projects stretching from 'Market' and 'Closing Down Sale' in the early 1990s, to the sprawling shredded landscape of 'Scrapheap Services' - most recently exhibited at Tate Britain.
		The Times' support for the visual arts within the United Kingdom is unstinting and, over recent years, the paper has given increased coverage to the renaissance of contemporary art in all its forms.
