Cultural mtb-ing

I've been to this place...it's somewhere near Oxford, isn't it? When I went there was no silver apple sculpture, though.

Yes Maz - about 20 miles north of Oxford near Chipping Norton.

You really need to be fluent in 'bumpkin' to be accepted, think they still sacrifice goats there - funny old bunch!!

It's because it's on top of the Downs and would require the chavs to walk 2 miles up hill - mind you, give it time!

I'll tell you why I really do detest Anish Kapoor's 'work'.

It's lazy. It's blandness made solid. It just sits there radiating smugness. It says nothing. It is a void, generated by the kind of cowardice that gives us office blocks stripped of ornament or craft or history. It's the sculpture of corporate Britain and the uber-rich slapped down for the education of the plebs. In an age that anything that passes for 'nature' is being compromised by corporate greed it would have us believe that you can represent the natural by a kind of faux simplicity that is, actually, the product of the same intense processes that are despoiling the planet. I bet Trudi Styler's got three of the buggers.

Is that me?


I'm off to see his other exhibits of the Brighton festival later so I'll post the pics for your dellzeqqectation and debate

I love the C-curve but really wish they didn't put it on a concrete slab. Imagine if it had been directly into grass, just appearing out of it, then trying to line up the reflected horizon with the real one.

Knowing the smug Styler and her tantric tosspot husband String I've a fair idea where they keep them and if they don't then that's where I'd like to shove 'em!

How about this at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester? I love it.

You don't need a MTB to get to it, but we've got this in Woking.

It's one of the aliens from war of the worlds (which is set in Woking).

now that I like - descended from 'Composition of wooden towers in a cool palette of colours, emphasising the skeletal structural elements in the use of solid masses , 1933' by Chernikov (via Ron Herron)

The first 2 are known as the dismemberment of Joan of Arc! 2 long red legs akimbo, a hole for the body and 2 conical mounds like Barbarella's majongas

This one is called Sky Mirror but it looks like an abandoned SKY dish!

This is titled 1000 names to represent the 1000 names of Shiva but I suspect you had already guessed that!
