Subject: RE: BS: Is poetry the most over-rated art form?
CapriUni, I think Ed's referring to the Tate prize. The complaint about the pile of bricks has become an abusive cliche hurled at modern art in general, both by the informed and the ignorant. But just such an edifice as Ed describes did win the prize a decade or two back. Inexplicable to most of us.

I'm not sure whether the prize is available only to Brits, but I think the judges are a little more enlightened these days, and you'll have to come up with something far more exciting and original than the bricks.

Such as a light going on and off at 5-second intervals in an otherwise empty room.
