C.R.A.S.H. sees a group of radical artists take on capitalism through a series of interventions in the Square Mile. David Fryer reinterprets the medieval tradition of exhibiting severed heads of traitors on London Bridge, taking bank bosses as his muses and using sheep necks and wax for media. Letting rip, Bankspeak encourages city workers to confess their capitalist tendencies in a verbal version of Fight Club while Café of Equivalent$ gives them something to chew on, selling food priced at the equivalent percentage of the daily wage of a low-paid worker. Mobile kitchens, soup made of gold and the closing-down sale of a family enterprise selling "real woman" are among the other radical gems on offer.
