Cameras and Art

September 28th, 2005

From Times Online:

THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT Gallery had an artful nocturnal visitor this week. Watch the bank of CCTV screens now installed in the foyer and you will find that they monitor a mysterious intruder. The long Tudor galleries are stalked by a fox.

I know that this mammal has become pretty metropolitan these days. But this particular creature hadn’t simply popped in to admire a few portraits, to sniff at the sables and ermines of Elizabethan forebears. It was part of an artwork by Francis Alÿs.
