I'm not a fan of modern art or modern artists but this bloody government seems to want to promote it and them at every turn.
"Action art" is possibly one of the most ridiculous of the modern art disciplines and, as you are no doubt well aware, involves people hurling paint, whitewash, flour, rotten vegetables and other such stuff at a "canvas" and then calling the resultant mess "art".
This abortion of a craft is obviously favoured by this bloody government as it has decided to establish an open-access, action art centre in the House of Commons lobby, of all places. What a waste of money and what a bomb site this hallowed area is going to be turned into.
The launch of this paint and rotten fruit-throwing centre received wide coverage on the television today. It basically consists of a large, bronze statue of the devil bitch Thatcher. No doubt it will be widely used by the public and Westminster vendors of paint, flour, rotten eggs, mushy tomatoes, hammers, chisels and flamethrowers will do a roaring trade. But is it art and is it an appropriate place for it?
Back in the real world, WHO THE FUCK PAID FOR THIS BLOODY THING? You can bet your spotty, voluminous arse that "we" bloody did!! I don't remember getting a letter through the post saying "Hello, old bean. We're having a bit of a whip round to buy a statue of Mrs T. Would you like to chip in?" It is a disgrace. The only positive thing I can find to say about it is that it is at least appropriately made of bronze - the age that bitch took us back to!!
The bronze lady can sod off to Grantham.
