AN artist staged a dinner party in a North Yorkshire cliff-top bungalow which is in danger of toppling into the sea.
Guests including former Cabinet minister Clare Short, were invited to an event tagged The Last Supper by Kane Cunningham at his house at Knipe Point, near Scarborough, where three nearby homes have already been demolished because of landslips.
The 48-year-old fine art lecturer bought the property last year to use as an art installation which he said was symbol of “lost dreams, financial disaster and threatening sea levels”.
Mr Cunningham said his 12 guests were invited “to discuss the big issues which have emerged over the last decade, including the environment, the global economy, the credit crunch and the recession”.
As well as Mrs Short, they included writer and former vicar G P Taylor and fishermen’s leader Fred Normandale.
