THE ABOLITION OF BRITAIN: Graffiti art in Canterbury Cathedral ‘belongs in a car park.’
Canterbury Cathedral has been criticised for hosting a display of graffiti-style art described as “belonging in a car park”.
Religious leaders and activists claimed the installation was symbolic of “decay” and said Canterbury Cathedral no longer had “a sense of the sacred”.The brightly coloured words, which appear as though they are spray painted, are part of Hear Us, a new art exhibition that displays questions that people have posed to God, including “Why all the suffering?” and “How?”
The Rev Marcus Walker, the rector of St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London and chairman of the Save the Parish campaign group, told The Telegraph he would like to set Canterbury Cathedral a challenge to “not embarrass the rest of the Church of England for one clear calendar year”.
Who in the Church of England thought this was a good idea?
Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick didn’t intend for A Clockwork Orange to be a how-to guide for 21st century British aesthetics:
