Turner Prize


Turner prize winner announced. Three large white gallery pillars into square trees, topped by canopies of uniform white leaves.
Martin Boyce work at Baltic  
 
Martin Boyce's works on show at the Baltic include a re-imagined library table and three artificial trees
Angular brown leaves made from wax-coated crepe paper are scattered on the ground, while a library table has been reconfigured into a playful modern creation.

Actually, I quite like this. It is at least creative. Who can forget the Light Switch?

    In a sense the lights going on and off is what it's all about. The stronger reactions to the nominations are interesting, and the strength of reaction to that one especially makes me think we missed the point.

    This has some of that thinking too.

    And this is quite interesting.

    Dear Porky
    Nope, lights going on and off are just lights going on and off to me.If it's art, it's very boring art.
