Portrait of murderer Myra Hindley, Myra, (1997), by Marcus Harvey, constructed of children's handprints
The Times newspaper's art critic, Richard Cork, wrote that:
‘Far from cynically exploiting her notoriety, Harvey's grave and monumental canvas succeeds in conveying the enormity of the crime she committed. Seen from afar, through several doorways, Hindley's face looms at us like an apparition. By the time we get close enough to realise that it is spattered with children's handprints, the sense of menace becomes overwhelming.’
The Mirror denounced the painting as a 'disgrace' it plastered it all over its front page thus projecting it into 2 million homes
Is it contrived and tabloid-provoking, resulting in childish glorification of a murderer?????
Meatballs by Marco Evaristti,work which resulted in a dinner party for his friends serving a meal of meatballs cooked in his own body fact, extracted via liposuction.
Is this work a 'critical-ironic commentary on Western consumer society and the culture of eating' or an absurd and unecasary use of his body inflicted not only upon himself but to others. Who knows if he ever used his own body fat???
