I think CD has sussed it. An artist with more talent for “shock” promotion than for art.

Of course we’ve heard of him, his “goldfish in a blender” got a lot of publicity – it’s just we remember the incident rather than his name, so maybe he’s not that good at publicity after all.

But then how many living artists can the general public name, beyond the obvious such as Lucien Freud, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Anthony Gormley.

Anybody involved in Contemporary Art can list a lot more which demonstrates my concern that their art talks to other artists and no longer speaks to the public. It is becoming irrelevant.

Marco Evaristti’s latest wheeze has got some attention but is it really about the death penalty or is it about what becomes of a human body after we have finished with it? I’m not sure this project really challenges the use of the death penalty in a civilised society – but he did get us to notice him, briefly.
