Mertle Merman and Cardinal Paul descended on Tate Britain to ‘do the arts’ and do them they did! The Walk of Shame explored the concept of shame in art, from the hidden shame of some of the artists to the collective shame of nations. Along the way Mertle channeled Victorian actress and eternal muse, Lady Siddons, and the pair helped the audience rid themselves of their personal shame with an exorcism/disco. All this pent up shame had to lead to a climax of sorts as they encountered Henry Moore’s Atomic Piece No 2 and poor Mertle was quite overcome by it all.
