Turner Prize!!!

[puddicat]

Has anyone seen any of the entrants for this, a film of someone dropping some china, a mannequins dummy sat on chair, with bits of i dont know what hanging off her face, some thing that looks like rubbish lying around the floor,i could do that and more and get the money,what a load of crap!!!

[paddywak]

I must agree with you, a fine artist like Turner must be spinning in his grave at the thought of the rubbish that is called art and awarded a prize in his name.

[jake-the-peg]

I know what you mean

I read Hamlet the other day.

Load of thees and thous - I could have written that - in fact I sat down and did so!

Haven't got any publishers yet!

I'm going to have my dead goldfish set in jelly in its glass tank.

Is that art? Now that would be daft! Who would pay to see that? ;-))

[puddicat]

plenty snagged if you know the right people in the art world, some of damian hursts projects, the sheep in formaldahyde, will eventually disssolve, so why pay millions for it,! sorry about the spelling!!!

Dear Mr/ Mrs/ Miss/ Ms Snagged,

As legal counsel for Gilbert & George, artists and artistes, I must ask you to desist from pretending to have invented new forms of artistic expression which my clients have been foisting on a gullible public for a considerable number of years. Their Naked Sh1t Pictures dates from 1995 and more recently they have been publishing works containg a full range of body fluids. They even live in Spitalfields!

yours faithfully

Messrs Welsh, Robb, Cheetham & Steele

Fair comment dundurn... how about this then?

I don't clean or make my bed... cover it in loadsa sh!te and exhibit that as 'art'?

Dammit... Emin has beaten me to it again...

[dundurn]

I don't really mind the "artists" who produce all this pretentious cr4p - if they can find a rich mug to pay for it, good luck to them. But I do object to the fArts Council spending our money on grants for them, and I really, really object to so-called Arts critics/ experts telling me how if I don't get/ appreciate it that it's my fault. I went to a sculpture gallery just outside Huddersfield earlier this year and they had a series of exhibits that were massive, detailed, clever and original as well as being intriguing and beautiful - in short they were art, and they communicated. Two mannequins and a supermarket checkout is no more art that was Ms Emin's unmade bed.

Oi! You been sneaking around my garret?
