Andy Currie follows in the foot steps of the inspirational Claus Oldenberg who was "for an art that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum" and opened a "Store" cum gallery in New York selling his ready-mades as quickly as he could make them.

Currie, inspired by this accessible act is turning 340 Old Street into a Store and selling off his amazing artworks as he creates them. He wants to treat his artworks like tins of beans which you simply take off the shelf. "Non of the overpriced Britart here that only the super-rich can afford, he wants his art to be sold at prices people can afford. It is time artists became radical again, things have become boring and predictable." Terry Duffy.

Curries kinetic “multiples” made from motors, fans and anything else he can get his hands on have been described as “amazing and profound“. They are regarded already as highly collectable and normally sell for far more. His last show a year ago was a major success and is still talked about and that’s not easy in a place like Shoreditch with several exhibitions opening per day.
