English Magic

101_6521 (2)

Ailz at Jeremy Deller's exhibition English Magic at Turner Contemporary, Margate.

She's holding our self-printed copy of the artwork on the wall behind her- "A Good Day for Cyclists"- which shows a hen harrier snatching up a Range Rover.

That's a great photo.

I went to see that exhibition when it was in Bristol in April. I was only mildly taken with it at the time, but it's grown on me in memory.

Thanks.

I found it stimulating. A review will probably follow (once I've slept on my impressions.)

Go, hen harrier, go!

Thanks.

Deller draws attention to the (ahem) disappearance of two hen harriers over the Sandringham estate. At the time of the disappearance the only two people walking about in the neighbourhood with guns were Prince William and one of his wealthy mates.

Don't recall hearing anything about that in any of the national papers' many many articles on Prince William... Anyone would think the British press pro-royalist.

Perish the thought...
