I thought I'd seen the lowest of the low in terms of art when I visited the the Tate Gallery in 2005 and stumbled across Tracy Emin's "Exploration of the Soul", a disgusting description of what she went through as a child, I don't even want to go into what she had written on the pieces of paper that in my opinion plagued the walls of the gallery. The woman is not an artist, she needs counselling.
Anyway, I was wrong! Mark McGowan, a Performance Artist has re-enacted the death of Jade Goody, using cardboard boxes with pictures stuck on of Jade's, mother Jackiey's and husband Jack's faces. The installation at the Guy Hilton Gallery in East London depicted the final two hours of Jade's life and around 200 people attended. Slightly soon, as she only died 6 weeks ago of Cervial Cancer. McGowan defends his art admitting it's "provocative" and accuses the people of England as being "too hung up on death".
So, I underwent a bit of research into him, and it turns out he is another deluded "Artist". His previous works include; re-enacting the death of Jean-Charles de Menezes by Met Police outside Stockwell Underground Station in London, and eating chunks of a Corgi dog in protest against Prince Philip for hunting foxes. Disgusting. Art my arse. But wait, it gets better! He sat in a bathtub full of baked beans with chips up his nose and sausages around his head claiming to be the defender of the Full English Breakfast. Art in this country really is going downhill. Sickening!
