BRITISH ARMY AND ART

The British Army is offering to help create a museum in Basra, which would be set up by the Iraqi authorities in one of Saddam Hussein’s palaces. British military planners have codenamed the project Oper­ation Bell, after Gertrude Bell, the archaeologist who helped establish the Baghdad Museum in 1926. Assistance is also being offered by the British Museum, but all parties stress that this is an Iraqi venture.

The museum project was initiated by Major-General Barney White-Spunner, who commanded the IIIrd Division. On the Iraqi side, it is supported by Dr Mufid al-Jazairi, chairman of the cultural committee of the Iraqi parliament. The project has already been approved by the Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism, and has now gone to prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for a final decision.

MARK LECKEY WINS TURNER PRIZE

Mark Leckey was named winner of the 2008 Turner Prize.

Leckey was presented with the prize by Nick Cave at a ceremony at Tate Britian in London.

His piece Cinema-in-the-Round shows the artist lecturing in a deadpan voice on the nature of the filmed image in popular culture, referencing everything from Georg Baselitz, James Cameron, and Felix the Cat to the episode of The Simpsons when Homer goes out into the human world.

45 YEARS TODAY FOR JFK

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty fifth president of the U.S. took place on November 22, 1963.

X marks the spot
If you believe that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK then its possible to believe that John Lennon was there playing Imagine on his piano with Elvis backing him up on Guitar.

This photo was taken just seconds after the shots were fired.

Route they took.

Rifle found in book depository.

There may not have been photoshop back in those days but there was photo-manipulation, his hands and that gun look a little dodgy to me.

MORE ART LESS POLITICS

The Greek philosopher Plato argued that all conventional political systems were inherently corrupt and that the state ought to be governed by an elite class of educated philosophers.
Not following every single blog on the planet today we are not going to mention the elections, instead we are going to focus on our new show by Sarah Lucas.
Please come by and see her fantastic exhibition.
