As Allan points out, it is just titillation I guess. But BIll would probably say – what’s wrong with that? I don’t even know if he was trying to make any kind of statement with it. One thing i’m quite sure of is if he takes that across the southern states in the US I think he’s going to get more than a defaced painting.

What he’s done with the God bit, though, sounds no more original than Duchamp’s bit of porcelain at the Armory Show of 1913. There’s no real statement; just someone who wants to be titillated by other’s reactions.

After listening to Bill, he did come across at pretending to be naive about his last project. Why do it at all, if not to get reaction? But what’s wrong with that? I don’t know, talking about art really starts to do my head in.

Now gardening, there’s an interesting subject – where’s my spade

Well, it’s pretty mad. He was telling us two of the jobs he’s got on at the moment. “Making Soup” and “God is a c**t*.

The first involoves him drawing an imaginary line between Belfast and Nottingham and if you live anywhere on that line Bill Drummond will come and make you, your family and close friends some nice hot soup. What’s the thinking behind this? No idea, maybe he thinks it will be nice thing to do.

The other is a bit more thought provoking. He’s producing huge posters with the words “God is a c**t” on them, exhibiting them with a notice by them stating that work is not considered finished until people have had their say about it (by writing on the canvas). Well, you can work out what was written. Why is he doing this? I have absolutely no idea.
