The turner prize was set up to promote modern art and to get it noticed in mainstream culture.
I think it has very little to do with art and a lot more to do with getting people talking about modern art. I don't think artists give a toss about it, and look upon it as a media event, that raises the profile of what are, lets face it, unknowns in mainstream society.
Works the same as Murcury music award. Who the fuck was dizzy rascal before? The albums a piece of shit if you ask me, but they use it on the BBC as trailer music.
Hey it exists because eveyone talks about it. Remember kids the 'im best' priniple doesnt work in the arts, you cant make art for all the people all the time.
so if you dont like it, remember there is someone who does.
