Whirring Chuck
Controversial
swearing art visionary Gillian Whirring is to host a special
BritArt edition of Blind Date for charity purposes.
The announcement follows a public outcry over Whirring's artwork
for a Guardian article, which took a frank look at the way the
media can
turn nasty for a laugh.
Her piece featured the words 'Fuck Cilla Black' in handwriting on a
piece of paper. "The idea was to make a statement about the
sort of people
who would write that kind of thing" Whirring explained.
"I had no reason to
believe anyone who watched ITV would read the Guardian".
The special edition of Artists' Blind Date, recorded this week,
will be
broadcast free of charge to young leukaemia victims. There are
some
hilarious moments: Rachel Whiteread claims she can turn herself
'inside out
for the right fella', and Sarah Lucas says her pussy looks
like a kebab. |
