Ed: “London is a good place at the moment, but you do have to wonder how much this is a media-led thing. The linking of Damien Hirst with Jarvis Cocker and Alex from Blur... you just wonder how relevant it is to the rest of the world. You wonder how much is manipulated, whether that feel-good factor is part of putting on a brave face: ‘This is great, we’re living through great times’, and just papering over the cracks.”
