Enjoying Charlie Brooker’s take on the Fourth Plinth over a coffee this morning.

Summing up the One & Other project as “Big Brother: The Tate Modern Edition” Brooker hits on an important point facing all institutions wanting to open their doors to one and all; even if we have people wanting to create and comment on culture, sometimes they just aren’t good enough to fill an hour.

Surely it’s the job of established arts figures and institutions to encourage and develop their ideas and talents not to provide an open forum alone.

oh… there’s currently a woman having a teddybear’s picnic atop the plinth and asking their advice on what postcard she should send her mum…perhaps Gormley will cast one of them in lead.
