In Tatton Park as part of the Biennial Art display. This project brings together the relationships between Dame Barbara Cartland, wartime aviation, Tatton Park and 1990s British politics. A prolific writer of romantic fiction, Cartland was also instrumental in the development of the troop carrying glider as well as Conservative ‘Back to Basics’ policy and promoting the rights of children and travellers. The work presents us with clues: the chaise longue and paraphernalia inside the getaway van speak of romance and intrigue; the glider (an exact replica of the ‘Colditz Cock’, constructed by World War II prisoners of war but never flown) was made using the original plans and materials found at the artists’ studio, while the narrated tale of love and adventure within Tatton Park suggests Dame Barbara herself. The artists’ novel is for sale at Tatton’s shop. Or is it the Midgetgems getting ready for a holiday abroad
Your lucky we have tracy emin down here, : have you seen the mess she made of that olympic plane ;D.Suprised they didnt put a couple of canoe out riggers on that just to make sure 8)
Based on my superior intellectual understanding of art , it looks like a model plane on a roof rack , i'm not really that intellectual or superior am i ? :- :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[-------------------------------->>>>
the plane design is awesome so theres the art, but the way it is coupled with a stupid car which is pre designed by a company and just used without modification suggests that it is not art. so if there is some art there, it is drowned by the disgusting car and unimaginative integration of the two.

A lot of art works better decoded, with a bit of explanation, bit of context. Did one of those tours at the Tate when the Turner Whistler Monet was on years ago. Turned pretty pictures into so much more. I think in the absence of any real definition it's about intent. That's why a blank page on a wall,, is art...... and boring >
Its a load of crap mate, was there the other day with family Mother,sister and nephews all thought the same.
