Oh dear...

Sorry about this, but after a week of audit, my brain has just fallen out of my left ear and is lying, gently steaming, on the floor. So:

As some of you know, all major readthrough events are now, by law, to be suffixed "-camp". There was a discssion last weekend centred on a possible "Camp-Camp". Some further ideas in the same vein:

The Life of Florence Nightingale - Lamp-Camp

Just William - Scamp-Camp

Waterworld - Damp-Camp

If all this hi-falutin' stuff (well, relatively) gets too much, there's always Flump-Camp.

And so on...

Now then - no Googling, and see if you can guess what the following quote is enthusing about:

"[artwork] is a classic example of how this immensely talented artist is able to merge diverse interests and political concerns into a visually compelling sculpture. Alluding to the area's cultural history and to the history of cross-cultural influence in Britain, as well as more topical issues such as immigration..."


ETA: Most of you had it right. The quote continues "his horse is a good bet to be one of the most memorable public sculptures produced in this century"

I am trying to muster a more engaged reaction than "It's just a bloody great horse!". And after all, the Australians have been doing this sort of thing for years
