Creating versions of 'Tate' classics with anti-fascist text

Mike | 22.11.2006 21:05 | Anti-racism | Culture | London

I was in the Tate Modern today Wednesday 21st 2006 and created an oragami hat with the text on it 'What would you graffitti (crossed out) text on your Tate masterpiece version? " In 2005-2006 racist abuse as well as abuse against the mentally ill was common in the UK."

As I sketched a cubist work with thoughts of creating a flick- book artwork out of the original there were some Tate customers who thought that I should actually graffitti directly anti-fascist text onto the cubist piece. This made me think that I should also create a voting system on whether I should or should not graffitti directly onto an artwork what do you think? You can e-mail me on  scribbleabc2001@yahoo.co.uk and maybe help set-up a website with a points system. It's worth sketching a piece of art even if you are only into art history or art appreciation as you get a real feeling of what the artist meant.
