i really like the sarah morris (shows london and has olympic colours) and think tracey emin's would be great if she hadn't gone so far as 'and i love you'. but it all depends on how they're going to be used, will they be plastered with writing, how large will they be etc? what i do think is really good is that such eminent artisrs have been used for the paralympic posters. ....looking forward to your rant :)
i am glad you liked them! me, i was up for the whiteread one in particular and i'm a bit of a howard hodgkin fan anyway (tho i'm unconvinced by this).
i have no rant tho! i left that to everyone else. with ay luck some folk will like them and some won't with not much in-between
some right naff ones there, I'd like the Chris Ofili one best if the runner didn't quite so resemble a werewolf...
I could see myself looking at Fiona Morris's one again and again, but yeah - alot of the others are very so so
i've heard ofili's runner compared to the grinch and it's an image i can't shake!
i've managed to maintain the take it or leave it attitude but they featured them on the culture show the other night and t was, if anything, even more fulminant!
April fool? No, too early/late.
The Whiteread one made me smile. We'd win more medals if there were drinking events. Or maybe not. I've drunk with Russians.

you're a better drinker than me then. those crazy russians!
the main ire in our house is still expressed by t. they has the poster thing on the culture show earlier in the week preceded by a particularly poor article on serndipity. that got her going but, as i pointed out, it was only a preamble. andrew graham-dixon was, as he's paid to be, very fair but there's a moment in the middle of his interview with cultural olpmpiad woman when he does a look to camera that leaves no doubt as to his opinions! t loved it!
t needs her own show...

coincidentally we were out all day planning for an installation for t.
it's not her shouting but it's a start!
Let me know when there's something for the rest of us to come and see.
