Ellen Ziegler on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth

PS: tune in to www.oneandother.co.uk at 1 am Seattle time on July 24. I may regret this, but everyone might as well see me do it...

And give the website a check from time to time. You absolutely never know what you're going to see. Some of it is unbelievably lame, some is brilliant, and most of it is a collage on a grand scale.

also think about what old Karlheinz Stockhausen said:

Hide what you compose in what you hear.
Cover what you hear.
Place something next to what you hear.
Place something far away from what you hear.
Support what you hear.
Continue for a long time an event you hear.
Transform an event until it becomes unrecognizable.
Transform an event that you hear into the one you composed last.
Compose what you expect to come next.
Compose often, but also listen for long periods to what is already composed, without composing.
Mix all these instructions.
Increasingly accelerate the current of your intuition."

Much discussion as to whether it's ART. Or if it's Any Good. I think Gormley handled it well, as did the guys from White Cube and the Portrait Gallery:

and a taste of the spirit of it all:

Ralph? If you think spider's webbing should be on the plinth, you should have entered the plinth lottery. Plus, I've never seen webbing by Ellen Ziegler. She wants to do mirrors; mirrors it is.

Go, Ellen! I think you should cover the plinth in spider's webbing and sit in it, truer to your work.
