AN art exhibition consisting of 5,000 litres of milk has turned into a giant custard tart. Artist Martin White pumped the milk into a 30ft diameter dish in Devon last week - and the elements have done the rest.

Daily Telegraph 2 June 2006
'biggest yoghurt in the world..
(a) tank of milk turning sour is art (artist Martin White says) the decaying foodstuff will represent the decline in dairy farming while giving the public a chance to see the chemistry when it goes off. The artwork will remain on display until it becomes so rotten and smelly it will have to be removed..'

this split milk is likely to generate fierce debate. The Art Farm Project shows the life and spirit of the valley, through the artists' work, tackling many issues from diversity to light forms.'
