A PROPER OUTRAGE Words: Artbug F
Here are some recent headlines; their: .‘létf; something about a l), election in Brent t ast. deaths; on an oil rig called Brent C and the biggest ever ‘s;or:ial exclusion" ll‘ eriniii, Brent' llou‘xever. llie Hera/(l carried something alternative. ‘()utragef' it said and outrage it fitlltfllfillltjl‘,’ turned out to be. War has; broken ()‘lt. And if you thought (3qu War II had little Justification. this; one has; (3‘.(;'lt more dark players than an Mot) office party.
A war bett'reeh the art torrns. Scottish Ballet and Clasgov.’ (:lt‘. Council devrsed a plan to kick the Visual arts out of l'r'amixlag. and turn it into a l()() prrxate ballet machine. the outrage is ('3th neglecting to dex'elop for the (Ilt‘, a rounded culture that supports all the arts in favour of a l)()ll(;\, of ltétVlltg more National Centres; of .

CCC appears; eager to support this handover in exchange for rent from the ballet. But the counth, ‘.'.’l|l lose much more in real \alue. and it does beg the question V ‘_','IH it turn its back on Trari‘esat if the SAC turns down the ballets bid to buy Out the Visual arts’.‘
Yet again. SAC is the pox-.‘er broker. but how can it make a value decision on our i.-.ho|e national culture through one Lottery bid’? SAC must reject this bid wholesale until a strategi for both parties is formed and proton sustainable Here's a thought: maybe the ballet c0tild find another tenue that doesn‘t llt\0l\.0 a hostile take oxer of another art term? Het. maybe they ceiild move into that national embarrassment called GOMA that GCC is so annotinglt fond of.
