Hyperallergic has published a statement in full from the British activist group Art Not Oil, following the announcement of new BP sponsorship deals with the British Museum, the Royal Opera House, the National Portrait Gallery.  “We’ve seen public opinion turning against oil sponsorship, with Londoners now opposing BP’s sponsorship of the British Museum by a wide margin,” the group writes.  “Two-thirds of the museum’s own staff want the BP relationship to end.
