Time Out says

Are you an artist who's finally had it with being ignored by the art world? Are you someone who has been given a work of art that you know perfectly well is without value, and may even be ugly as far as you're concerned? Are you an artist who's actually successful to some degree, but are embarrassed by an earlier work? Well, London's Bob and Roberta Smith (a.k.a. Patrick Brill) have a solution. Dumpsters in MoMA PS1's courtyard are being provided for all of the above and more to dispose of their art. For those having a hard time letting go, you can bring in your work to display in the second-floor gallery. The catch is that you must sign a pledge saying you never want to see the work again; if you prefer to up the ante, you can also promise to never make art again. If you opt for the latter, you get an official "I am no longer an artist" badge. Committing career suicide has never sounded so fun.
