Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
I never thought I would find E-coli so beautiful. I would like to know what size they are.

I have just sat mesmerized watching the HIV virus being recreated. I know Jerram is the artist but I have to say the glass blowers who turned the artist's visions into 3 dimensional objects are truly amazing artisans in their own right.

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
The Criteria seems to change from year to year...I've only ever liked one winner in the entire history of the competition.
Personally I think it was a mistake to call it the Turner prize as not one person who has been nominated or won in the event has even one tenth the skills of Turner plus he can hardly be the epitome of contemporary art of the last 60 years..it should have been named after a British artist whom was rather more contemporary like Francis Bacon,Henry Moore ,Barbara Hepworth,Bridget Riley,Peter Blake,David Hockney and my particular favourite Stanley Spencer...
Personally I think it's not so much a case of Contemporary art more like Contentious Art.

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
Very well put Maggy. I have given up trying to see where that the winners of the Turner Prize have displayed an ounce of the Talent displayed by Turner. I feel that it is a showcase for those "artists" that like to push the boundaries of what a gullible public are willing to accept as artistic endeavour. With the art critics indulging in a case of the Emperors New Clothes syndrome.

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
Comparing it to my tree makes me feel positively decadent.
