ART OF CRIME//CRIME OF ART 3:
The Funeral Of Diana Princess Of Wales 2.0
Thursday 6th September 2018
Commissioned by TWH’s arts cabinet, artist Stanley Schtinter has cooked up a word for word remake/re–enactment of Princess Diana’s funeral to mark the anniversary of the original and popular 1997 production.
The funeral will benefit from the natural incorporation of the Jill Dando/Barry George fit–up/Crimewatch cock–up, and Jimmy Savile cock–in(to) the mix for goodbad measure.
With an original score by a live Mexican mariachi band (includes a specially adapted version of Candle in The Wind), and appearances by writer and TV star Jonathan Meades (as Earl Spencer) and writer and filmmaker Chris Petit’s Museo de la Soledad (as Master of Ceremonies) . . . see it as a purge after another year of pointless patriotism.
The World Cup may not be coming home but our Queen of Hearts has just ordered a taxi and she’s on her way.
Hans–Ulrich Obrist: “I haven’t been the same since that night in Paris. I still get nightmares.
Hopefully after the funeral at The White Hotel, I can start dreaming again. It’s what Diana would have wanted’.
Admission: free (when have you ever paid to attend a funeral?) excl. paparazzi – all paparazzi will pay.
May we ask that you bring flowers, wear black and listen without prejudice.
