K Foundation Burn a Million Quid

By: Brook, Chris

In the early hours of August 23, 1994, in a derelict boat house on the island of Jura, the trustees of the K Foundation, Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, burned one millions pounds in cash -- money from a previous project, the KLF, a successful pop group. This book explores that act and the surrounding controversy. Was it a political act? What was the goal? Is it art? This book illuminates the ideas behind the seeming madness, the aftermath of the event, and in doing so, man and society's relationship with ownership, material goods, and money.
