Turner Prize

This, one of the biggest art prizes in the world with lets just say global publicity, I was hence quite excited to see the show. Not only is there controversy behind the prize every year, from people jumping on Tracy Emins bed, to poo being put on the steps of the tate and undoubtedly controversy within the papers Yet  there is also a sense of British pride I feel, surrounding the show. This sense of pride may only be from art goers, yet never the less, from the fancy roman and greek style temple that is the Tate Britain which hosts the Turner prize exhibtion, to the numerous celebrities presenting the prizes, this I thought was a show that could not be missed. However walking in although I saw great contrast of work from Hans Hacker to Jasper Johns work I left the show suprisingly uninspired, I found the work difficult to understand and put my money on who I thought would win and moreover suggest who I wanted to win! Yet after finding out abit more about the work- Angela De La Cruz to win! I feel her work is not only conceptually sound but aesthetically sound and too skillfully made- it is also very different to just another painting- although Susan Philipz sound piece proved interesting and too would be very intersting in different places, the way it was displayed within the exhibition did not appeal and therefore I would not choose it to win! Sooo... Angela De La Cruz to WIN!
