A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Interesting point she makes that the Turner prize has 'grown up'. It was surely always complicit in all that phoney outrage (I don't know much about art but I know what I hate...)
ReplyDeleteBut if you think contemporary conceptual art is worth anything, which I do, then there is a place for an annual prize. Though as she says, prizes are no indicator of what will last. My guess, which will probably be wrong, is that both Emin and Hirst will last, but only the bed, the shark and the cow.
