If I'm supposing correctly, who you mean, I think you'd find there'd suddenly be mass support, and calls to bring back the Panoptican.



Any news how much funding the Victorian Swimming Gala is costing...yet?

Hate to talk about anything so vulgar as money, in a lovely art thread, but I do genuinely think it would help people decide the true value, and worth of such things, if all the available information was in the public domain.

Seems silly to hide the financial costs, when deciding something's value, as the culture minister intimated last weekend, when he said all publicly funded art projects should be transparent, and not hidden from the very people who fund them.
