Tornado involves the physical and conceptual transformation of a decommissioned RAF Tornado airplane into a large single bell. Situated in a busy public space to coincide with the Cultural Olympiad’s Open Weekend of 24-25 July and placed at a human level, the bell may be rung by anyone who encounters it.
What a load of arty farty bollocks. Anybody know what they are on about? I like this bit from the second report........
“First of all, I’m astonished by the sound,” said the London-based artist
Well what did you think it would sound like? A bell perhaps? Thank god university fees are going up to £9000. It might stop idiots like this from doing Arts degrees.
