Got this off Private Eye's web sie - make your own jokes :-)

"Floyer's work in Sunderland is a black bin-liner full of air, slumped on the floor. It reminds us that context and placement is everything, and that the slightest, most abject gesture, can be resonant. Floyer's bag of air makes me think of bodies, death, futility, emptiness, waste. Its starkness is overwhelming."

Mr Searle probably wasn't looking at the exibits but had wandered off into the janitor's room. Next week : "The juxtaposition of Mop and Bucket: The working woman's struggle for gender identity throughout the last century".
