Kickstarter Project Launched To Move Lionel Richie's Giant Head

[Initech]

The art world might have descended on Italy this past week for the 55th Venice Biennale, but nothing in the Piazza San Marco or in the museums or galleries will startle like Bestival's secret weapon this September – a grande tête to compete with any festival big top or heady work of art coming at you over the summer. You can stick the opulence of the Fondazione Prada where the sun don't shine – the music festival and fancy-dress party at Robyn Park, the Isle of Wight, is where it's at, and if Elton John and Snoop Dogg are not big enough draws to ensure you'll be sailing in cramped conditions with a bunch of ersatz seamen from Southampton docks, then how about the massive cranium of a former Commodores legend?

Lionel Richie's Head has been added to the bill this year, and Hungry Castle – the Barcelona-based artists who want to take a giant balloon sculpture of said head to the festival – even have a Kickstarter campaign (their failed previous bid alerted curator Rob da Bank to their plight, and voila! they were added to the bill). It's based on a notorious bust of Lionel that appears at the apex of the Hello video, and some say they've created a monster. But what lurks inside the monstrosity? As we all know, nature abhors a vacuum – so here are six things I'd like to see inside Lionel Richie's head.
