For someone who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler this may seem a little churlish, but I went to Ferens yesterday, yes the Turner thing. Well I know its contentious, Tracy Ermin and all that, but really, no matter how I looked at the exibits I could not see how such stuff gets so much acclaim. I probably don't understand that type of 'art' but I did understand the beauty of the Rembrandt on show a couple of weeks back or so, that was astonishing, as is some of the 'real' art on show in Ferens. To me it was rubbish, but obviously it is considered good enough for a prestigious prize, like I said I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

Tracy Ermin - That old stoat.

If she appliquéd my name on the inside of her ****ing tent I'd quickly be round there with a seam ripper and no mistake.
 
Tracey Emin was on the table next to me at St Johns restaurant in Spittalfields once, she looked like she hadn't had a bath for months.

I went to Tate Britain to the Turner Prize Retrospective, where they'd brought together all the previous winners. I quite liked Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George and the odd other thing, but most of it was rubbish (like the empty white room that just had the light switching on and off).

Not sure I see the point of this one, it just messes up Trinity Square...

I think that they may be akin to modern day Parisian street urinals. I might try using one next time I stagger out of Kingston or Bonny Boat. Will have to be careful though as you could potentally grate your knob off.:emoticon-0104-surpr

I did the whole three floors of the Tate Modern in Liverpool in twenty minutes. Utter rubbish, including one eight foot by eight foot painting that was all red. Perhaps I'm too old for modern art.
