Art Project: Not The Usual Golf Course
From April, Doug Fishbone’s “Leisure Land Golf,” which was first shown at the Venice Biennale 2015, is opening in Nottingham (UK), combining a playable round of mini-golf with some surprisingly hard-hitting art. The Guardian says: ‘Fishbone invited 10 artists to contribute, exploring some of the darker sides of the leisure industry through a game associated with family holidays. A sculpture by John Akomfrah (pictured) forces you to putt into the face of a kneeling figure wearing a hoodie – an obstacle inspired by the deaths of African Americans killed by the police in the US.’
