‘An important message about the arts’ – an animated video by artist David Shrigley
Posted In: Arts by admin
For more information about Save the Arts, please visit http://www.savethearts.org.uk.
Over a hundred leading artists including David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Anthony Caro, Howard Hodgkin, Anish Kapoor, Richard Hamilton, Bridget Riley, Antony Gormley and Tracey Emin have joined the campaign to make the case against the proposed 25% cuts in government funding of the arts.
The campaign is launched today with the release of a new video animation by artist David Shrigley highlighting the effect of the funding cuts and a new work by Jeremy Deller with Scott King. Each week the work of a different artist, created in response to the campaign, will be released. Mark Wallinger will present the next project.
Supporters of the artists’ campaign will be asked to sign a petition which will be sent to the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. It points out that it has taken 50 years to create a vibrant arts culture in Britain that is the envy of the world and appeals to the government not to slash Arts funding and risk destroying this long-term achievement and the social and economic benefits it brings to all.
The artists acknowledge that reasonable cuts and efficiencies are necessary but they fear that the 25% cuts being proposed will destroy much of what has been achieved and will have a particularly damaging impact on national and regional museums and their collections.
The campaign is being organised by the London branch of a national consortium of over 2,000 arts organisations and artists dedicated to working together and finding new ways to support the arts in the UK.
The costs of David Shrigley’s animation have been covered with a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Robert Dufton, Paul Hamlyn Foundation Director, said: “We are pleased to support this campaign and hope that its message is taken on board. As independent funder of the arts we are aware of the effect that cuts will have on many of the organisations we support. We stand to lose a great deal as a society if arts organisations are forced to stop the very valuable work they do.”

Schoolchildren are at it again, ditching school, busting out tricks on their bikes, and serving up some large-scale pranks to the world. These kids may not be taking notes, but they know how to take control and make themselves heard — especially when it comes to saving the planet.

We waited in line since 8am. Gaga came in a black car around 3pm. We ran up to it, and she went into this big tour bus. The security guy said she is very tired and not feeling good, cuz she had a lot of shows. So she got out and blew a kiss at us, and said hi and went in.
I had my book with me (the present) and asked her security guy if he could give it to her. He promised me he would, he was so nice. So I gave it to him, and went back in line.
20 min later, the guy comes back to the front, and was like “you guys waited from 8am? wow. Where is Sara”
and I tell him I’m here. He was like “you gave her the book right?” and I was like “yea” and he said she was crying! she was sooo touched, that she couldn’t speak. he then asked me what color my hair was, and I said “brown” and he reported back thru a walkie talkie, and said “brown” .. and I was like wtf? why does she need to know that? haha. he then also asked how many friends I have, and I said “6 of us are inline” then he said ok.
anyways, so he then tells me that gaga loved the book so much, that she is letting me go in early to MEET her!!!! That’s when in front of all my friends and everyone else there, I balled my eyes out. I mean, cried sooooo hard. I couldn’t believe it. I thanked him, and he said to wait there. Late he comes again and gives everyone in line hot chocolate. Gaga bought EVERYONE HOT CHOCOLATE cuz we were waiting sooo long and it was cold!
Then these 2 girls come, that work for Gaga, I recognised one as the Gagavision lady, and told her “OMG ur the gagavision lady!” haha and she was like “shh” lol.
Then the other lady took out a box. and this is all being filmed btw!! she takes out …A HAIR BOW!!!! she said “gaga wants to give to this you” and OMG!! i cried in front of the camera!!! I was balling! she then hands me a picture of gaga, signed and it says “To sara, I love you + your spirit, Enjoy the fame” lady Gaga.
BUT she then hands me the SECOND letter and its a HUGE LETTER which i will post here! she wrote to me!!!!!! I then lost it all, and cried again. haha. she wrote ME a letter!!
then the ladies left. and we waited in line.
7:30pm, we get to go backstage! we lined up inside. gaga comes! I was like “OMG GAGA did ulike the book”
and she was like “OMG I loved it, it’s amazing you made that, honestly, i’m so happy, I will read it all”
she then signed my jacket on the back!!! and i got a picture with her!!!!! I told her to release retro Physical, haha but she said its soo old and she said “its out already” lol.
then we saw the concert. and OMG it was amazing!!
but
guess what??? she pointed to me 3 times! and then in the middle of a set, she climbs up, and I say “happy birthday” and she goes “everyone, this is sara, she is my number one fan in the world!” and then I forget but she said something like “she made me a book” I DIED!!!!
and then later she was like “i have a special guest” and i shout out “LADY STARLIGHT!?!” and she goes to me!” no sorry, shes not here today, im talking about space cowboy!!!” lol she talked to ME!!
