A naked member of the group has had an oil-like substance poured over him by silent figures dressed in black and wearing veils, and is now lying in a fetal position on the floor in the middle of the exhibition Single Form. Dedicated to the human body, Single Form is one of a series of ‘BP British Art Displays’ staged throughout the galleries of Tate Britain.
Simultaneously a letter was published in The Guardian signed by 166 artists, writers, curators & academics (myself included) calling for the Tate to end its relationship with the oleaginous BP. The UK's National Portrait Gallery also enjoy patronage from BP with the Portrait Award, a fitting venue as the accumulated portraits of witless inbred aristocrats & religious figures testifies.
