Pauline Forster (born 1949, Carlisle) is an English artist, performer, musician, designer and landlady of The George Tavern in the East End of London.
Dog On was a clamped, mirrored Capri which Forster slept in for three nights outside the Tate Modern starting on the day of its grand opening.
On the night before the Queen was visiting the Tate Modern Pauline was woken up by MI5, who threw her onto the streets with no shoes or money and impounded the car as the piece was considered a "security risk".
Forster has gone on to create an untitled performance where she walked through the streets of Cheltenham dusting the trail and herself in flour; the film was shown in Leicester Square as part of an Arts Festival.
In 2002 Pauline squatted a Balti house in Brick Lane and opened an exhibition entitled London's Burning where she laid out hundreds of carbonised bagels and loaves.
She had the car pulled by six women from east London to Trafalgar Square while rose petals and the dawn chorus came from the interior.
Pauline has built up The Georges reputation as a top music, performance and art venue, and a location for film and advertising.
