The K Foundation
----------------

The K Foundation was Cauty and Drummond's imaginary Art foundation in 
which the two top-hatted gentlemen that can be seen in the background of 
Munch's picture 'The Scream' are the Trustees.
The K Foundation motto was Divide and Create.
The aims of the K Foundation were undefined but were once stated to be 
The Advancement of Creation.
Cauty and Drummond first began imagining the K Foundation on February 
18th 1993.


On August 23rd 1994, Cauty and Drummond set fire to UKp1,000,000 of their 
own money and burnt the lot. This happened in a derelict boat house on the 
Island of Jura, Scotland.
The one million had been ammassed from Cauty and Drummond's career in pop 
music. The burning was filmed.

"WATCH THE K FOUNDATION BURN A MILLION QUID" is a 55 minute film of 
unedited footage. It starts with the match being struck and ends with the 
final ember dying. In between, nothing happens but Cauty and Drummond 
feeding the flames with bundles of UKp50 notes.
The film is silent.

On the 23rd August 1995, Cauty and Drummond screened "WATCH THE K 
FOUNDATION BURN A MILLION QUID" in the village hall on Jura. The screeing 
was followed by a debate with the Islanders

In early September 1995, a full-page advert was placed in a national 
broadsheet asking 'Why did the K Foundation burn a million quid?' The 
film is now being shown at various locations including schools, prisons, 
art galleries, financial institutions, mental hospitals, film festivals, 
spiritual centres, bonfire night celebrations, theaters and night 
shelters for the homeless. At each screening, Cauty and Drummond are 
observing and documenting the audience responses.

K CONCLUDED?
-----------

On the 5th November 1995, Cauty and Drummond signed a contract agreeing 
to end The K Foundation for a period of 23 years. This postponement 
'provides opportunity of sufficient length for an accurate and 
appropriately executed response to their burning of a million quid'. 
Cauty and Drummond have rescued themselves from the burden of an impossible 
explanation. Their fate now lies irrevocably sealed in the imploded 
remains of a Nissan Bluebird nestling amongst the rocks 120 feet below 
Cape Wrath.

MAJOR RE-THINK IS NOW UNDERWAY
------------------------------

"As the century draws to a close, The K Foundation have cremated the 
remenants of its diseased corpse and symbolically thrown the ashes to the 
mercy of the northern winds. As a potlatch it implicitly demands a higher 
return from those to whom it speaks. Sacrifice is an unquantified, 
irrational, magical exchange."
