Art Watch Anti-BP Art Activists Spilling "Oil" on the British Museum

BP, currently bringing still more oil to the Gulf coast, also brings funding to many museums in London, which has recently made said institutions targets for anti-BP demonstrators. After tarring and feathering the Tate last month (video after the jump), a group of black-veiled performance art activists known alternately as Liberate Tate and Culture Beyond Oil just visited a BP-sponsored exhibition at the British Museum and spilled oil-like molasses from BP-branded egg-shaped containers all over the display. No art, wildlife or wetlands were harmed during the demonstration.
