Turner Winner: Enough With Hirst, Emin, And Shock Art
"The Young British Artists (YBAs) who drove the contemporary boom were a bad thing for British art, the new Turner Prize winner said last night." From the podium, artist Mark Leckey criticized the artistic discourse: "'I kind of hate the relationship the press in Britain has towards art,' he said. 'I hate the way it's all Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin and Banksy.'" The Times (UK) 12/02/08
