A whole bunch of artists have been asked to design posters for the Olympics. I don’t have the words to describe how utterly fucked off I am with the Olympics. Needless to say, a lot of the images in the BBC gallery (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15577818 - posting this from gadgetphone so you’ll have to do without a proper link) are bollocks.
Really quite taken with this one from Rachel Whiteread though. It pleases me. I think it’s the couldn’t-give-a-fuck-attitude with which she deconstructs the rings. A coffee stain across this country’s infrastructure etc etc…
I’m off to Newcastle tomorrow, where I will make similar informed and insightful comments about the Turner Prize exhibition. It’s all part of my big plan to get into Andrew Graham-Dixon’s pants.
