c. Art Axis 2015
Night view inside the bar / lounge area of the Hayward Gallery from the outside raised walkway,
past a neon-embellished cement mixer languishing on a wide exterior ledge.
Comment on the largely tawdry, intellectually pretentious and uninspiring shows Hayward South Bank choose to exhibit,

Tate Modern facade composition No 1 , Tate Modern art gallery, Southbank London.
Continuing the series from 2013, positing the art gallery itself has become art; thereby disenfranchising the cronyistic culture of exclusivity, discrimination and one-upmanship that the heads of these establishment institutions practice and thereby democratizing art, bringing it within the reach of everyone.
“ Democratizing Art “ TM ( A term now widely used – and abused – throughout the art world, coined by
artist Michael St.Mark in 2012 )
