Crazy golf gets an arty twist with the launch of Doug Fishbone’s Leisure Land Golf at the New Art Exchange space in Nottingham this week (1 April-19 June). Ten artists—including Yinka Shonibare, John Akomfrah and Lindsay Seers—use the popular leisure activity usually associated with time-warped British seaside resorts as a launchpad for a series of topical, even controversial, issues. “From migration to global warming and globalisation, each hole is a glimpse into a new perspective,” a press statement says. Fishbone’s own contribution is a model of the Costa Concordia, the cruise liner that ran aground off the Isola del Giglio in 2012 leading to the loss of 32 lives. Visitors must meanwhile shoot the golf ball into the mouth of an unnerving hooded figure in Akomfrah’s installation, which “references the number of unarmed African-Americans shot by policemen in the US”, say the organisers. “We can take solace in the realisation that the world may be going to hell in a hand basket, but with putters in hand, at least we can go down swinging,” quips Fishbone, who presented the crazy project at last year’s Venice Biennale.
