The Turner Prize is a bit of a standing joke, I fear. A few of the entries are from artists in a recognisable sense. Many are pieces of 'concept' nonsense which have as much to do with Art, in any meaningful category-definition, as the songs that you and I sing have to do with nuclear physics. I am afraid that applies as much to Ms Philipsz's versions of Lowland Away as it did the other year to that lightbulb switching on & off, and all those other bit of silliness which have 'won' over the years.

What a pity that a great artist's name should have been arbitrarily attached to such a pretentious load of codswallop.

Along with, or perhaps as part of, my 'legendary pedantry', I possess a strong taxonimical bent, which is grossly distressed and insulted by the Turner Prize.
