| With thanks to Christopher SPURLING and Robert WILSON who, in 1930, faked the infamous Surgeon’s Photograph of the Loch Ness Monster, as revealed in March 1994 shortly after Spurling’s death. Ahh, it looks so good - she’s made out of wood. One month later, Kurt COBAIN took his own life. Two months later, Colombia’s Andrés ESCOBAR was shot dead following his World Cup own goal (see The Guardian, FOURTH OF JULY 1994). Six months after his death, COBAIN’s version of The Meat Puppets’ LAKE OF FIRE was released. | ||

LOGOLAND - L GOLAND |

| logoland suite of fifteen skirting board paintings presented at Lichthof der VHS, Cologne, September 1998. Within the language of protest, the Liverpool Dockers' corrupting of the CK logo moved from the streets to UEFA via Robbie Fowler's public support of the t-shirts. During the FIFA 1998 World Cup, the play got so boring that the advertising hoardings took precedence. Not meant to be watching them. Forty-five minutes each way. | ||

LOGOLAND - L GOLAND |

| l goland Thirty-four second digital film produced at the Loch Ness display at LegoLand in Windsor. Had looked back through the film. Had spent too much time looking at the Loch. Just behind Castle Urquart were some figures. Copy of McEwan's amsterdam in my pocket at the time. Clive is in The Lake District, seeking inspiration to finish his Millennium anthem. Sitting behind some rocks, he hears voices. Loathe to interupt his flow, he looks, sees people and immediately wishes he hadn't. | ||
