“Everything Must Go” featuring Big Bang 2, by Hilary Powell & Dan Edelstyn
Saturday May 9th to Monday May 25th, 2026
Free entry: 12-6pm, Wednesday to Sunday
We're leaving our current home on Tottenham Court Road at the end of May and we're going out with a bang.
Between Saturday May 9th and Monday May 25th we're hosting Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell's installation Everything Must Go, featuring "Big Bang 2".
Everything Must Go, tells the story of the couple's recent economic and energy interventions - the multilayered works that became the feature documentary films Power Station (2025) and Bank Job (2021).
Bank Job instigated a community heist on an unjust financial system - setting up a rebel bank on a high street and printing money to cancel £1.2 million of predatory debt.
Power Station saw them imagining themselves as both Central Bank and Central Government to unleash a green new deal in microcosm and involved rooftop sleeping, sunflowers and singing in the pursuit of energy democracy.
Exhibits on show include “Big Bang 2”, the gold van full of debt detonated during Bank Job; the bed the couple slept in on their roof during Power Station; an ingot and a coin, both smelted by hand at London Sculpture Workshop from the metal of the destroyed van engine; the original HSCB printing plates (the source plates for the banknotes already in the V&A's permanent collection); as well as other prints and artefacts from the two films.
Entry is free to view Everything Must Go. Opening hours are 12pm to 6pm, Wednesday to Sunday and by appointment (email events@kairos.london).
On Saturday May 23rd, we're holding a live auction of selected works from the show. Other works, including Big Bang 2, will be in a digital auction that launches shortly.
Supporting events for Everything Must Go include a screening of Power Station on Saturday May 9th, a screening Bank Job on Friday May 22nd, the Live Auction on Saturday May 23rd, a talk, The Art and Activism of Money by Max Haiven on Sunday May 24th, followed by a Money Making Workshop later that afternoon.
