Street art exhibitions, what a fantastic money-saving idea
Share this:
From Dr Cameron McPhail.
THE current al fresco art exhibition may have inadvertently solved a looming financial and political headache for the cash-strapped States.
Rather than building a controversial and hugely expensive National Gallery on an already diminutive Weighbridge Square, the Jersey Heritage Trust could just make even more photocopies of original works and add them to the street exhibition.
There would probably be some murmurings from the cognoscenti about this low budget approach being tacky, disingenuous and desperately infra dig, but as Jersey Heritage has obviously endorsed this strategy such views must be of little consequence.
Those blessed with finely honed tastes in both art and culture have shown us the way forward. Man the Xerox machine and at last the Island can display its gallimaufry of fine art to the public cost-effectively. Incidentally, is Copley’s The Death of Major Peirson, currently displayed in Church Street, merely a copy or actually a copy of Holyoake’s copy?
Hold the front page … I now see that the Eisteddfod is diversifying into the al fresco art scene with a six-painting show modestly entitled ‘The Essence of the Creative and Performing Aspects of the Jersey Eisteddfod’. Full marks for the vibrant art on display, but this must be the first show at which the title is actually longer than the exhibition.
