The galleries were divided upon three floors. The first consisted of 3D and interactive elements of his work. He'd placed a black gong in the middle of the room with the appropriately placed word 'GONG' in the centre. There was also a white board where you could write how you felt.
The second floor consisted of his illustrations. There was a countless amount and they were all highly amusing. They were literally drawings that had come straight out of his head. The reoccurring message throughout all these drawings was that they deliberately had no context to them whatsoever. They are a protest against the pretentious surroundings of art.
The final floor was a room in which people were allowed to participate in life drawing. Shrigley had placed a strange looking model of a male figure in the centre of the room which was in full nude and once every five minutes or so, would urinate into a bucket. Me and my friends sat around and made a few of our own interpretations. At the other side of the room there was a scene set up in which people were allowed to re-enact. There was a script to follow and it evoked the message that all art is priceless.
