James Delingpole, and other prominent British skeptics, have been immortalised on an art installation “wall of infamy”.
According to James;
I am one of several climate change sceptics to have been celebrated and immortalised in an exciting new, prizewinning art installation at Anglia Ruskin, one of Britain’s largest universities. (h/t Liam Deacon)
It comprises a faux-stone slab (made out of plywood) engraved with my own name and that of five other British climate sceptics – Christopher Booker, Nigel Lawson, Christopher Monckton, Melanie Phillips, Owen Paterson – beneath the legend “Lest We Forget Those Who Denied.” The sculpture has been described as an “oil painting with a difference” because a continuous stream of engine oil drools symbolically over the “deniers’” names, like tragic sea otters after an Exxon spill.
I must say I’m a little jealous of my friend James. Where is my art installation wall of infamy? I mean, how many of these climate articles do I have to write?
Given the amount of publicity this political stunt has generated for the artist who created it, hopefully there will be some copycat attempts before too long. Please make sure you get the spelling of my name correct – that is “Worrall” with an “A”.
“…prizewinning art installation at Anglia Ruskin, one of Britain’s largest universities…”
Is there a prize for “thinnest excuse for a prize”?
Anglia Ruskin University……produced from combining the Cambridge School of Art, the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology and the Essex Institute of Higher Education.
It has a science faculty but no department of physical science.
The “wall of infamy” is no more than you would expect from an arts student at a regional university, or a major university for that matter.
Heart on sleeve, well-meaning but ignorant.
Anglia Ruskin is one of the world’s best universities. Certainly amongst the top 5000 or so in the UK.
Anglia sounds like a term describing the constant desire to go fishing, to a hoosier like me…
Has anyone else noticed that anytime a Leftist makes ‘Art’ it has to be an attack on something? From “Piss Christ” to Feminist Plays to this week’s jab at climate skeptics, the constant theme is Hostility. And beauty or talent are often in short supply. It truly is a travesty that ‘The Arts’ have been taken over by those with no art in their soul.
Have you heard about the problem that some colleges in the US are having with “The Vagina Monologues”?
Seems that it can’t be performed in such open-minded venues because it does NOT include women who do not have vaginas.
Political Correctness: the gift to satire that keeps on giving.
“The Vagina and Inside-out Vagina monologues”
That should correct the title.
Eric, you have to be in the pay of big oil to get on that plaque. I’d be thrilled to be on it but, alas, its for Britishers only. Perhaps the real message is that there are only 5 dissenters left in the UK. Sad. I think the 5 of them should have an annual celebration with a facsimile art printed on to table napkins, coasters and neckties. Drink Guinness, it looks most like crude oil. Actually, we should have an international dissenters day with pod casts from the mighty five and drinks all around – would be a better blast than earth day. I’m awaiting a post by Monckton here on this thrilling honor.
Get serious. I’d call this juvenile art.
It would be interesting to sue here personally for defamation of character by suggesting that disbelief was not a badge of honour for those superior enough to question the, clearly based on forecast accuracy, low IQ climate fraternity.
relax; your name isn’t there either.
