The Turner Prize nominees were announced recently, and of the four, i only recognised one - and that was only because she used to teach at DOJCA (she may still). The work of the four is not the most interesting i have come across in the Turner prize, which i will not join others in saying has gone downhill - but i did lose interest slightly when it went to Liverpool TATE. However, this year it will be exhibited at the TATE Britain - will this make a difference to my following it? possibly, because i am more likely to go to London and have a relationship with the work, rather than just reading about it through skeptical reviews. It does go to show the impact the work can have as expressed through the media and experienced first hand.
i do regret having not seen Tracey Emin's "My Bed" for myself.
i wish all the contenders insightful thoughts in producing the work and present an interesting, engaging and challenging show in September.
- i will report back.
