Art Not Oil “Liberates the Tate”
17th June 2010
This event was prompted by an astounding development in the history of the sponsorship of the arts in the UK by large oil companies.
Not the sponsorship of the Tate Modern by BP – that is neither new nor secret. But by a very polite letter sent by the Tate’s communications department to the leader of a workshop titled “Disobedience Makes History” asking him not to mention the gallery’s corporate sponsors in his lectures.
Which, naturally, prompted this reaction.
