What am I bid for a blown-up van? The bizarre art auction aiming to build an eco power station in Reform-held Clacton

Artists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn are auctioning off their work from the past 15 years this Saturday to raise at least £250,000 for a community-led renewable power station in Clacton, the constituency of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The auction, which will be conducted by former YBA Gavin Turk, includes a gold Ford Transit van wreckage containing fake banknotes that the pair blew up in 2019 as part of their film *Bank Job*, now reconstituted as a mobile sculpture. An online auction runs until 31 May, but currently only £750 has been raised.

Miami Politician Admits to Hiring ‘Jew Hater’ Billboard Trucks Targeting Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Art Basel Miami Beach

Miami City Commissioner David Suarez admitted to paying $4,000 for billboard trucks that targeted pro-Palestinian protesters outside Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2024. The trucks called Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) an “extremist group” and labeled members Alan Levine and Donna Nevel as “Jew haters.” The protest, organized by JVP and three other groups, called for a boycott of UBS, Art Basel’s sponsor, over its ties to Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. A lawsuit filed in Southern Florida District Court seeks documents from Suarez, Mayor Steven Meiner, and other officials related to the incident and a city ordinance that protesters claim was designed to discourage demonstrations.
