Shadowminister,

Rubbish.

Your cancel culture mentality was only thinly disguised with a lame attempt to direct this at the artistic merit of the work.

The curators sought the artist and they felt the project certainly had enough merit for them to originally support it. They have only withdrawn that support because of cancel culture warriors like yourself.

So the point is while everyone, even yourself, has the right to make a personal judgement on artistic merit there are far more qualified people than you who have a far more educated view of its artistic worth.

Your judgement on the other hand is nearly totally informed by your ideology.

Not that the artist would be too worried. The point has been well and truly made.

Plantagenet, I don't know where that spin story came from, but it is totally wrong. Yes the Winjeel was very stable, but it would spin when asked, & settle into a nice stable spin. One of my course was kicked off course because he became mesmorised & just sat watching the thing spin.

The tail had to be modified because some of the formers aft were cracking. This was discovered when one of the ground crew crawled into the back of the fuselage of one with a torch & a mirror on a stick & found cracks. It was decided that when the thing was put into an unstable spin the stress on those formers was excessive.

This was during my course, & we were banned from spinning for a couple of months. Spinning was allowed again after the things were patched up, but no more unstable spins permitted.

They were a great aircraft, if a bit heavy on controls in some maneuvers, such as steep turns, but the sound of them throttling back from 2300 to 1800RPM after take off, while sitting in a physics class was murder, it made you itch to be flying.

Steeleliar,

You can't stop lying.

The article said nothing about this artist being sought out his repertoire seems to consist of making up rubbish designed to outrage people with no more artistic component than taking a crap on the sidewalk.

If you think that's art, then all your thoughts are driven by ideology.

shadowminister,

The bloke was awarded the National Award for Plastic Arts in Spain so you once again are talking through your hat.

If you understood anything about Dark Mofo you would know his work is a very good fit for this particular art festival.

"Dark Mofo is not your ordinary festival, and this is probably why it's gained such an enormous cult fan base. Held in the lead-up to the winter solstice, it can often be confronting, disturbing, thought-provoking, or just plain weird. Some of the more left of field performances have included an artist being voluntarily buried beneath a busy road in Hobart for three days, and a bull carcass being decapitated in front of a live audience. The art on show at Dark Mofo is at the forefront of the contemporary art scene, and it isn’t afraid to shock in order to make a point, so come with an open mind."

Santiago Sierra was looking to shock to make a point and he has done so even if is work has been the victim of cancel culturalists like yourself.

SR,

Why are you still lying, I've never called for anyone to be cancelled and you are the ultimate cancel clown.

Dunking a British flag in blood is no longer controversial, it is a theme that is echoed by every left whinge apologist, and this piece of tacky "art" is for all the left whinge ideologues such as yourself to jerk off to.

shadowminister,

Of course you are part of the cancel culture. You are most certainly part of the 'offended classes' spoken of in the article's title.

This type of art offends you greatly and you want to see it withdrawn.
