Adolescent toilet humour meets cultural sophistication. THERE is No F in ART delivers a serious message with frivolity and illustrated pop cultural references. Irreverent, tongue in cheek, anarchic – a lucky-dip look at the main players in the Art world, if you’re lucky!
A deconstruction of Marketing of the Art Market.
Why have you written: There is No F in ART (is there?)
On a visit to the TATE Modern in February, it felt more like a playground than a museum. There were people lying on the floor of the Turbine Hall, a giant disco-ball overhead and adult sized swings, inside and out – part of a new exhibition. When I ventured into the Conceptual art wing, I spent more time engaging with the Wall Descriptions than looking at the work. When the Room Guide told me that they were written by the Curators, it triggered a desire to explore further. It just naturally evolved from there.
