Artists who've used illegal materials , by minibear on Aug 9, 2019 13:41:37 GMT 1, Hi guys,
Perspective. A friend is looking to produce some pieces of art on a mass produced item, readily available in the US but restricted from purchase here in the UK. I'm researching the legal implications for them as a favour.
The only reference point in art I can think of is the commissioned Cocaine Skull by Diddo, which got a lot of press but so far as I know no legal recourse. Would the situation have been different if it was sold on the open market?
If any of you have any experience or insight into this, or know any other artists that have used manufactured restricted goods in their art, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,

The early Chemical X pieces definitely contained real pills. His first show was pulled because the gallery presumed they were replicas and they panicked when they found out they werenโt.
Heโs obviously had to alter that a little, but, Iโm sure commissioned or larger pieces still/can have real ecstasy pills on request.
The odd real pill in an artwork of 4000-5000, theyโd only check the odd one if someone ever did check.

Mmm seem to remember a coincidence in the that and the demise of gallery, not the piece itself just the substance.
That was the show with the 'Believing Standard' pieces.

I was at the opening of that show. If I remember correctly that piece was the first one saw as one entered the gallery. โGreedโ?
It was a good show. Many of the hand written Believing Standard pieces were great.

It was a good show. Many of the hand written Believing Standard pieces were great. An interest time that, the show had the Beejoir print release ( the not so good one with the broadcaster ) which was an absolute bun fight, people were queuing for that to get in and people were being let into the show, buying pieces and generally the atmosphere was not do friendly. In other news I bought my favourite piece of art there a Mau Mau canvas called Noah's Shuttle, it is big, but I somehow managed to get it into my car at the time.

It was the Lies print. Those of us not interested in it just walked past the queue and were able to buy the believing standards!

It makes people feel superior while acting inferior.
The fun would be in making something out of legal materials and then telling everyone it's made out of illegal materials and laughing when the fuzz raid the gallery and seize the exhibit.
