Turner Prize - Yuk!

Mark Leckey - Detail of production still from Felix Gets Broadcasted (2007)If you're wondering why stuckists are demonstrating outside Tate Britain today (yesterday's post) it's because tomorrow sees the opening of that national joke the Turner Prize exhibition. The untalented twerps selected for public ridicule this year are Runa Islam, Mark Leckey, Goshka Macuga and Cathy Wilkes. The graphic above is a still detail from Mark Leckey's Felix Gets Broadcasted (2007). Groan. I've already shown you an example of Cathy Wilkes' tosh (CLICK). The winner gets £25,000, the runners-up £5,000 each. The result of this lottery will be announced on 1 December during a live broadcast on Channel 4 (remember to avoid). Ageism note: the Turner Prize is awarded only to Brits under 50. Isn't that against the law? Aw, what does the law matter to Sir Nick and his cronies?
