THE SHOCKING TURNER PRIZE

What happened to this year’s Turner Prize exhibition? We’re used to controversy, shock, bad art. “This year’s show is tasteful, steady and, in two cases, highly accomplished. There’s nothing willfully bad, flash or obscure here: the services of the Tate’s head of interpretation will not be required. Take your grandmother, take your children – the only shock is that there isn’t a single video.” – The Observer (UK)
