Fantastic! I think it’s a wonderful idea and would be very popular. I imagine it could include the ‘Winter of Discontent’ Corridor showing those terrible public service workers daring to go on strike because they were expected to pay for Heath’s Tory Govt. 3-day week. Then there could be pound coin on display seeing as Thatcher promised to save it but didn’t, causing massive inflation. I can’t wait to see the analytical Cubism piece expressing the Poll Tax riots in Scotland and the famous Banksy painting of Maggie against a backdrop of the retreating Argentinian ship, refusing negotiation or diplomacy. No doubt there will be further paintings of her Cabinet colleagues who were prepared to sell out and surrender the Falklands population. There will be examples of Neo-expressionism by artists showing the de-regulation of the banks and subsequent crash. Each of the hundreds of thousands of people left homeless could be represented by a huge sculpture of pieces of dirt on a giant court shoe. The present housing shortage which came as a result of this could be represented by Tracey Emin’s work: The unmade Building Site which is sure to draw in the punters. Another draw would be the display showing the successes of her privatisation of industry – a large blank white wall and modern art at its best. Jackson Pollock’s ‘Act of Revenge’ canvas depicting the destruction of coal mining would sit alongside the surrealism of the destruction of shipbuilding and steelworks. A large metal scrap heap representing all those who were thrown on it, by the sculptor Antony Gormley, would stand at the entrance. Inside would be his Angel of the South figure of her hugging Pinochet. The highlight would be a boat ride through the museum of her eleven years of failure and misery where at the end you are ousted by yer ain folk!!!!
Aye, I'm for it!
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted
