The Tate is under fire for taking BP sponsorship money. Does corporate cash damage the arts — or is it a necessary compromise? We asked leading cultural figures their view.

Grayson Perry, artist - I don't know if Louisiana fishermen really care much that BP sponsors the Tate. When I was up for the Turner prize, I joked that I was looking for a sponsor for my dress, and I suggested BAE Systems. I thought it would be funny. The whole "sponsorship is evil" line is easy to trot out when you're a penniless student with nothing to lose. Corporate sponsorship of the arts is vital. The counter-argument is, does it really "greenwash" them? I think a lot of the time the main motivation is to give their executives and clients a nice jolly and some privileged access. I don't think that when people come out of an exhibition, they think: "Oh, wow, I'm going to buy BP petrol now." I haven't really had sponsorship before, but for the show I'm working on now I've said right from the start that if we need a sponsor I'm going to play with it. I'm going to incorporate the sponsor into one of the pieces. I'm interested in medieval northern European altarpieces, where quite often the patron would be painted meeting the Virgin, or carved standing at the side of St Peter or whoever; that was part of the deal. Part of my shtick is that I rebel against the rebels. I find that kneejerk, internet-paranoid-conspiracy thing a bit annoying, so I suppose my devil's advocate side wants to poke them in the eye a bit. I'm understanding of the need for corporate sponsorship. -the guardian

Rules of the street: The city balances speech with security on G-20
The First Amendment protects a person's right to engage in public speech anonymously. Does that mean a city proposal to regulate the wearing of masks is unconstitutional? Probably not, because the measure would not impose an outright ban on devices that conceal identity. In fact, the bill says it is not intended to limit that right during protests and rallies. It is appropriately narrow and would apply only when the masks are "worn with the specific intent of avoiding identification during the commission of unlawful activity." But many of Pittsburgh's most well-meaning citizens oppose the restriction, and they made good arguments against it at a City Council hearing Wednesday where members considered the rules as a prelude to the G-20 summit later this month. David Meieran, a veteran protester, wore a polar bear mask and asked members if they could tell whether he was wearing it because he wanted to commit a crime or because he is fearful of the impact of the melting polar ice cap. His question goes to the real concern: Protesters are worried that police will use the no-mask law to stop them from engaging in lawful demonstration because they'll assume that anyone wearing a face cover is up to no good. Overreaction on the part of police, instead of being a remedy, could be a prescription for disaster. Those in charge must make sure that every officer knows that simply wearing a mask is not a problem. -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Cindy Adams - April 9 2008 - THAT catchphrase, now crossstitched in samplers and pillows, "No good deed goes unpunished'" is upgrading to "No bad deed goes unpublished'" In the old days, anyone caught doing something lousy or ratty would quickly call a lawyer. Today the first reach is for a collaborator. You conned somebody? You bonked a 12 year old school kid? You're a certifier killer, robber or hooker? WRITE A BOOK.
