When Dellar was nominated for the Turner Prize no one in the media made the konnection, but now that he's won it, they are all at it. Sort of. Jeremy Deller wins 2004 Turner prize The Guardian Online Monday December 6, 2004, 9pm update http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/turnerprize2004/story/0,15076,1367855,00.html "Deller's award brings a sort of closure to one of the most sensational chapters in the award's history; he is a sometime collaborator of Bill Drummond, the KLF musician who through his K Foundation matched - and doubled - the 1993 Turner prize with a £40,000 prize of his own for "the worst shortlisted artist". That year, Rachel Whiteread won and reluctantly accepted both prizes." Can the Turner turn us on to politics? It will take more than prize-winning arty videos to kickstart public life. by Aidan Campbell, Spiked Culture, 7 December 2004 http://www.spiked-online.com/Printable/0000000CA7FB.htm Artist cashes in on Bush's home town The Melbourne Age, December 8, 2004 http://www.theage.com.au/news/Arts/Artist-cashes-in-on-Bushs-home-town/2004/... exactly same story: Now the winner, who can't paint, draw or sculpt Sydney Morning Herald, December 8, 2004 http://www.smh.com.au/news/Arts/The-winner-cant-paint-draw-or-sculpt/2004/12... -- Stuart Young, Michelle Ardern & Felix Ardern-Young (3) Live at: 42B, Sefton Ave, Grey Lynn, Auckland, NZ Phone: +64 (0)9 376 8100 say.map@ihug.co.nz Graphic and Web design, Web development and hosting: http://www.pixelandgrain.co.nz/ Stuey's personal website - a cobweb site: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~stuey/ Any views expressed in this email are those of the author and not of any of the organisations we are involved with.
