What a great week in the world of London art! For all those not impressed with Antony Gormley’s long-running One and Other exhibition on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, you can bemoan the current state of the UK’s art scene (or just art in general) by joining in with National Art Hate Week.
Established by the maverick Billy Childish, National Art Hate Week has been devised as a critique of mediated emotion and cultural centralisation, communicated through the creation of a vast array of propaganda style posters and the impassioned polemics of real and imagined actions. They have a manifesto and everything!
Pop down to the eccentric L-13 art space to get involved. Expect protests, propaganda and plenty of anti-art activities. Well, at least it makes a change.
