Culture Show: Steve McQueen (no, the other one)
posted by Paul Murphy
At 12′32 you’ll find Turner prize winning artist Steve McQueen talking with Mark “Max Headroom” Kermode about his new work Queen and Country, postage stamps commemorating those who have died in the Iraq conflict. They’re not real stamps but he’s working on getting the Royal Mail to take them on. He also talks about his new film Hunger which is about the last days of Irish Republican hunger striker Bobby Sands and won an award at Cannes. Both are powerful provocative items.
