I like it, so sue me. I like it almost as much as I enjoy reading the outraged headlines in the tabloids the next day "You call that art?" etc...
The winner Mark Leckey is from Birkenhead which is good for us Merseysiders. And Nick Cave presented the award which is even better. Hurrah!
Was this today?
Good lord, I really should pay more attention.
I like the Turner too. Though have to admit to being mostly disapointed.

yipeeeeee a topic im happy banging on about. the art ffs is in the reaction we,he veiwer alows it to provoke. art is not mearly dawbing/scrawling a surface its about passion feeling and conviction. with out that you as a viewr are bereft of any enjoyment that could be got from the peice your standing in front of.
i defy any one to stand infront of the raft of the medusa and not feel desprate for there plight.(goggle it )..i hope this thread runs a while a refreshing change to fweeerrr gerem ooot.
