Turner Prize 2007
by Arnica @ 2007-11-18 - 20:39:32

A late entry!

It's that time of year again when we all shout "but is this art?" as the short-listed nominations for this award are exhibited. We all remember Damien Hirst’s pickled cow and calf, or Tracey Emin’s unmade – not to mention unhygienic – sick bed.

One of this year's entries is described thus "it’s a sort of mini-maze, containing cubes with peepholes in them that open into... well, that would spoil the surprise."

So I thought I might enter this picture I recently took whilst in Spain.

What do you think?

Fish Boxes

Should I prepare an acceptance speech?

Same old question I always ask, what the hell is it?

But, my, "what the hell is it" usually wins, I think that you are in with a chance arnica, talk to marian about the speech, she writes some good stuff.

That's it, you have just ruined my dreams of three different beautiful women, ( and maybe there are more? ) artistic, caring and poetical, with a little smattering of ooh-la-la.

I am leaving now, I may be away for some time.

Aw - sorry to spoil the fantasy - I thought you knew?

The clues were all there!

I am still artistic, poetic and caring though with more than a smattering of ooh-la-la!

Well, my 5 years old daughter has some good art too. Much better than lots of the award winners. But you are definitely an up runner.

I wanted to retain an air of mystery so the piece has just got a fishy smell instead! :yes:

Subtle eh? :))

You could say your entry is a minicubeco vertical landscape, or hang a towel somewhere and call it a newly built hotel.

I was thinking of calling it "Let's Crate Art". From my "Retro Spanish Collection".

Nice to see you back!

My picture is a pile of fish boxes behind a wire fence! I just liked the structure. Have you seen this one? http://myplace2.blog.co.uk/2007/11/12/a_potty_picture~3285676
