So wonderful. I always loathed that moniker "Turner Prize winner" for some reason. But this is brilliant and so wonderful how artists make things better. Like picking the best novelist of the year. What an asinine thing to do! Watch "Turner Prize winner" Jeremy Deller's new docu on British history and dance music. Best docu I've seen in years!
An art prize from the heart of the establishment allows the artist to be born aloft on the creative wings given to them by the wise and beneficent sponsorship of the selfless elites that in turn thru their profound understanding of humanity give us our cultural values.

The ultimate purpose of any art prize is the accrual of social capital for the prize organizers.

Congratulations to the winners. But is’nt the concept of an art prize antinomic with an artistic practice?
