YOUR Evening News has been shredded in the name of art at a London exhibition.
The special September 11 2001 edition of the Evening News became part of the exhibition, called Paper Anniversary by Amy Sharrocks at the Spitz Gallery.
"The installation has a sofa, two armchairs, a couple of lamps and a pile of newspapers from September 11," said Tris Dickin curator of the gallery.
"The visitors can read the papers and shred any pages they want. There are about 200 to 300 papers there."
Sharrock's aim with the exhibition is to explore the themes of responsibility and destruction and the importance of newspapers and how the reader digests information thrown at them.
But the Evening News has already been shredded, said Mr Dickin yesterday, and now the shreds will be left in build up in the gallery during the exhibition.
On September 11 2001 the Evening News brought out a special edition at 4pm carrying pictures and reaction to the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon including an eye witness report from Worcester ex-pat Penny O'Hara.
The exhibition opened at the Spitz Gallery in London's Old Spitalfields Market on Saturday and runs until Sunday, April 27.
