revolution_frJust turned on BBC2 after that last post to see a man wheeling a giant gold head of Saint-Just across a stretch of lawn! Which was very unexpected!
It was an item on the late Ian Hamilton Finlay's 'Little Sparta'! - so if anyone here can get the 'within-7-days' BBC watch again facility for The Culture Show it should be online for a few days (23.20, BBC2, Thursday 24th). The presenter seems weirdly unaware that the garden is a homage to Saint-Just and the Revolution...duh!

This might work (? - the Land Art 2 article on the website).
