Further to this thread, I just thought I'd flag up the Segsbury Art project, for anyone who might be interested. This was a collaboration, about 10 years ago, between an artist, Simon Callery, and the Institute of Archaeology at Oxford. There are a few details of the work online at

and one or two pictures at
http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitio...mages.shtm (scroll down past the pictures of blank canvasses)
I can't say that the work does anything for me. I tend to agree with Andrew Selkirk who, having seen it exhibited in the Coxwell tithe barn, wrote '...there were those who felt that the exhibition was a candidate for the Pseud of the Year award; however the barn was nice'.
