Turner Prize
Winners: Controversy
Perhaps because so many shortlisted artists
are involved in unconventional or avant-garde forms of installation
art, contemporary sculpture, video art
or other types of conceptual art,
they tend to attract considerable criticism (even ridicule) from some
art critics and members of the public.
One criticism levelled repetitively at Turner Prize Winners, for instance,
is that their works do not constitute "art".
Turner prize exhibits have included: a
2-hour film of the artist (Mark Wallinger) wandering aimlessly around
the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, dressed in a bear suit; a dead sheep
in formaldehyde (Damian Hirst); an installation of a white room with a
single light bulb blinking on and off (Martin Creed); an installation
of an unmade bed complete with used condoms and tampons (Tracy
Emin).
