turner

this year's turner prize goes on display this week.
as ever i am excited about the event. i am not sure why i get excited by it as for the last few years the work on display has always disappointed.
ignoring all the arguments about modern art and whether or not it is any good, what i always find baffling is that the boys (and girls) at the tate somehow contrive to find four artists who just don't seem to be that special (or that good). considering the breadth of talent that is on display each week in london galleries, alone, that is a pretty fantastic accomplishment.

my next journey to the tate britain will be full of eager anticipation. will i come away deflated? who knows, but that is the magic of art.
