A Graves Mistake

WebsterGotts went to The Graves Gallery in Sheffield today. The Graves Gallery is situated above the City Library, and there are many steps to climb to this filthy gallery.

Like many other libraries, the Sheffield City Library has loads of quotes smeared all over the walls, telling us how great libraries are. Amongst others, there are quotes from; Albert Einstein, Samuel Johnson, Michael Palin and of course The Manic St. Preachers.

WebsterGotts were utterly distraught and horrified to discover a quote from 'Anonymous' nestling amongst these pillars of culture;

How could the Graves Gallery allow such foul base filth to be daubed across the walls of this prestigious public building? Is it no longer safe for our children in public?

Further outrage was to be forced onto the unsuspecting library goer, in the form of public health and safety advice posters, offering the following information;

Breathless and shaking with rage, WebsterGotts finally managed to get to the Graves Gallery featured exhibition; Lady Mary Wortley Montagu: An Extraordinary 18th Century Woman. This Lady is described as being a prolific writer and traveller, who was a contemporary of Alexander Pope, and also strove to introduce Smallpox inoculation to Britain. What this exhibition actually revealed, was that she was merely a loudmouth gossip and total ugly bitch, whose colourful use of the English language was shockingly offensive and a very real danger to our children's education.

Here you can see her moronic writing style makes no sense. And should not be so highly regarded. Honestly Graves, what were you thinking?

Art Sheffield 08

A few months ago, Sheffield Contemporary Art Forum (SCAF), a group who co-ordinate and promote art events in Sheffield, asked WebsterGotts for a small portfolio of work. We assumed that this interest in our artwork might possibly lead to an approach from SCAF to include us in the prestigious Art Sheffield 08.

We recently received a letter from SCAF explaining that our proposal for Art Sheffield 08 was unaccepted. This was a surprise to us, as were unaware that we had put forward a proposal for Art Sheffield 08.

We captured the moment we found out we were not to be included in Art Sheffield 08 on a laptop camera.



We just don't understand why no-one takes our artwork seriously....
