Ok - this is simultaneously the most incredibly funny, wonderfully arrogant, and most immediately prone for detournement thing I've ever heard of in my life.
I got a wonderful e-mail from the old bastard, Mr Massow himself. It reads as follows:
quote:
Unfortunately, It definitely looks as if they will try to sack me when the
ICA council meets formally on Monday. The ICA was built on debate and on
challenging establishment. If they fire me for giving my opinion, it doesn't
say much for what the ICA has become. (The ICA founders would be spinning in
their graves!)
Anyway, it seems that quite a lot of people will be coming to the ICA on
Monday to support me - in the hope that it may 'help' my ICA Council members
to get a little perspective on the issue. Some are coming armed with
waterpistols! (I sent a water-pistol to the director as a 'concept gun' for
my execution).
I thought I'd mention it and say that if, by chance, you're in the West End
on Monday, and feel like popping down at 6pm - I'd really love the support.
Same goes for anyone else you know who may feel similarly.
Ivan.
PS - As you can imagine, there may well be a few people from the press there
- please feel free to give them a piece of your mind!
Can anyone think of some wonderful short-term easy to organise art-pranks that we could use to make this whole thing endlessly more entertaining?! |
