The Cartier Award 2008

Wilfredo Prieto - Limonada con dos pares de cojones (2007)From gross (next post down) to minimalist. How's that for continuity? Look closely at this ... er ... Limonada con dos pares de cojones (2007) by Wilfredo Prieto. It's as minimal as you can get: two lemons, a handful of sugar and a splash of water on the pavement and that's it. Art! Believe it or not, this ... er ... Cuban ... has won The Cartier Award 2008 with his proposal to install over 100 oil drums filled with liquid stirred by a frog at the Frieze Art Fair in London! Blurb: "The work will be a beautiful and poetic reflection on the current international obsession with accumulation and growth". Oh yeah? I just hope the RSPCA is there to look after that poor frog!
