Tate puts artistic bomb under Blair
Olivia Cole
THE Tate gallery, once at the heart of the cool Britannia movement, has turned on Tony Blair over the Iraq war.
Sir Nicholas Serota, the gallery’s director, has given the go-ahead for an installation that mounts a strident attack on the government’s foreign policy and its attempts to curb freedom of speech.
The work, which will be unveiled tomorrow, is inspired by the ramshackle encampment of Brian Haw, the Parliament Square peace protester.
Festooned with slogans attacking Blair and Gordon Brown, its centrepiece is a representation of Haw apparently being martyred. It shows an image of him fastened to a wooden cross wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the word “Bliar”.

Edit: Produced by Herr Gruppenfuhrer John Reid's stepson

So, any news on the current Mrs Reid would be most appreciated. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan.

And then there's this tomorrow on More4 and Thursday on Channel 4.
The Trial of Tony Blair
More4 15 Jan 2007 10pm; rpt C4 18 Jan 2007
Biting feature-length satire portraying the private travails of the Prime Minister as he leaves office after more than a decade in power.
It is some time in the future. Gordon Brown is moving in. President Clinton is looking for her second term in the White House. And Tony Blair has swapped the corridors of power for carpet swatches in his home in Connaught Square.
But some things don't change: in Iraq there's no let-up to the daily death toll and the ex-PM is as obsessed as ever with his legacy.

Seems it's begun in the couple of weeks, the backlash driven by the controlled media.
All that's needed now is the right crisis and we shall all welcome the New World Order,apparently!
Any developements on the impending catastrophe should be posted here forthwith. |
