The sun was slyly revealing itself last weekend after a lengthy absence, so we took ourselves off in the lukewarm sunshine for an early jaunt to the De La Warr Art Gallery to take a look at Richard Wilson's 'Hang on a Minute Lads, I've Got an Idea' - a facsimile of The Italian Job's team's chosen method of transport to bring back stolen bullion from Turin - a coach. Wilson completed the installation with a hydraulic system which emulates the tipping and rocking motion of the vehicle just as it does in the film while balancing precariously on the edge of the gallery building. By the way, The Italian Job is a favourite film of mine as we have the same style Alfa Romero as the luckless Italian police drive.
