Platform is in a long-running argument with the Tate over its sponsorship by BP , describing it as " a serious stain on the UK 's cultural patrimony " . Some artists with work in the Tate have backed Platform 's opposition to BP , including Conrad Atkinson . Art critic Jonathan Jones opposed Platform 's demands : " If they can get money from Satan himself they should take it . " Interviewed during BP 's Deepwater Horizon oil spill , Tate Director Nicholas Serota explained " We look for long-term partners and one of those long-term partners is BP . They have been with us for 20 years . We all recognise they have a difficulty at the moment but you do n't abandon your friends because they have what we consider to be a temporary difficulty . " A " Living Memorial " to Ken Saro-Wiwa was unveiled in London on 10 November 2006 by Platform , on the 11th anniversary of his execution . Created by Nigerian-born artist Sokari Douglas Camp , it consists of a steel sculpture of a bus with Ken 's words inscribed in the side " I accuse the oil companies of genocide against the Ogoni " . It has toured England , visiting the Shell headquarters and Glastonbury
