On Friday night (31st Oct) there was an hour long documentary called
'Twenty Years of the Turner Prize' presented by Matthew Collings on
Channel 4. He devoted a surprisingly large segment to the whole Rachel
Whiteread / K Foundation story, including an interview with Mr Drummond
and a silent Mr Cauty, and nice footage of the 3am video, K Foundation
posters and their Turner Prize night activities. Collings described the
KLF (the band) as 'genius', and the K Foundation as 'slightly
confused'. It was generally positive, putting them in context of the
moment that the prize became a real cultural event, but described the K
Foundation thinking that contemporary art was 'all about money' - a
little unfair I think. Overall it was a great programme and if you're
interested in contemporary art in general try and get a copy.
There was also a wee K Foundation mention in a Turner Prize magazine
free with Saturday's Guardian.
