This piece, long misunderstood, is now considered by the cognoscenti artista to be one of the artist’s most devastating critiques of contemporary popular mores. At first sight, a simple reproduction of a figure from mass, populist culture (’[name withdrawn for copyright reasons. Ed]’), but more careful analysis shows us that by the simple expedient of changing the medium from Plasticine to Blu-tack, the artist has challenged our most fundamental (mis)conceptions of art, media and contemporary culture.
Since we are about as cheap as art galleries get, we want YOUR art on our walls. So send us some.
If you have made a model out of Blu-Tack®; flattened some out and made nice shapes (bless), produced a little animated video made of Blu-Tack® men or are in the process of constructing a full-size scale model of the Vatican or Empire State Building, send us a picture of it.
Got a YouTube site with Blu-Tack® features? Send us a link! We love to link!
