BANK was an artists' group active in London during the 1990s.
Simon Bedwell and David Burrows were involved with it.
[citation needed] BANK also published a satirical magazine delivering tabloid-style critiques of the art world.
"[1] Other "frankly adolescent" headlines were "ARSE COUNCIL", "SIMON PATTERSON - ONE IDEA, EIGHT YEARS", "CARRY ON CURATING", "PIPPA-LOTTA-RIST-ACTION" and "SAM-TAYLOR WOULD-NOT"[2] Julian Stallabrass said BANK’s activity was "the parodic creation of corporate identity at the centre of which (as their name suggests) is a noisy and constant reference to that matter of which the art world usually whispers: money.
"[3] They had, according to Matthew Collings, a "surly, self-destructive, self-conscious, introspective attitude - combined...with critical intelligence and a flair for spotting weaknesses in the art system".
