STUDIO DIRK :  The book of “The Daylight Robberry Show”:  An Art Price of £763 in the UK, except at Rye Wax, Peckham, ( where it is £30 only.)
Having gained an MA from The Royal College of Art, I became an art performer, one half of Reindeer Werk. For several years we worked in Europe and North America, and performed alongside people like Laurie Anderson & Marina Abramovic. One day, I re-considered the increasingly rarefied conceptual art scene.
“What’s the baddest thing I could do?” I asked myself.
The answer was mis-en-scene art. It was despised by everyone. So I painted mis-en-scene for the next 30 years; and in time it transpired I was not alone. Artists in Cologne were venturing along the same disrespectful path. Later it became known as ‘Low Brow Art’.
I moved on to portraits, crosses, and wire constructions. Until the day I heard the Head of the Amsterdam Police speaking on the radio. He said, “a healthy society cannot exist without crime.”
I thought about my past, about the gallerists who had effectively stolen work from me down the years, and I thought, “The time has come for me to CREATE a crime. Time for me to invite three of the most dishonest individuals I know to rob me in a positive way. To create a new Gesamtkunstwerk. To re-create a new sense of loss.”
I asked them to steal my latest work - the Juice Shack Stars Project, featuring the Ali Baba Juice Shack in Rye Lane. In return, they would allow me to feature the story of the theft in a book, The Daylight Robberry Show.  One responded, in an unexpected way. Some of my work, missing for 23 years, was paid for and returned.
A few months later, I put it up for sale for Monopoly Money. My buyers, some new to the art world, were over the moon.
