| Adam Neate vs Art of the State |
'Untitled 2003' |
||||
| OK, time to put on a show. I fix up the painting with a fake explanation and sit back to watch the results. I was originally more concerned with security chucking me out for putting the picture up. As people have a look I suddenly realise taking it down is going to look even more suspicious to the gallery viewers. So to the bemusement of some German tourists I finally walk up, take the painting down and put it backing my bag and head upstairs to take a picture with St Paul's in the background. Just as I'm putting it up the gallery alarm bells sound throughout the building. It's probably nothing to do with me that the entire Tate is being cleared (I guess it's some bored school party setting off the fire alarm) but I decide to cut my losses and leave the building in the crowd. |
