The water company has threatened legal action to stop the "irresponsible" stunt which comes during a prolonged drought in southern England.


Last year McGowan left a tap running in a south London gallery, but bowed to pressure to turn it off after a month.

That stunt used 800,000 litres of water, and angered many Thames Water customers and gallery visitors - some of whom turned off the tap themselves.

This time he intends to keep the taps running at secret London addresses, sending an estimated 100 million litres down the drain.

..yes but he's an "artist". We're supposed to be in awe of everything they do.

And people wonder why art grants are the first thing to go when budgets get cut. Thank GOD. The less idiots like this running around and messing it up for everybody, the better.

I understand we are in a drought. But I am an artist so I'm not actually wasting water for nothing.

He's not an artist, he's a retard. This attitude of self-importance and elitism is what gives contemporary art a bad name.
