» Turner Shortlist announced...
I’m underwhelmed. But since I do it every year, my official vote goes towards…Tino Sehgal.
I haven’t guessed right in a few years but…whatever. Who came up with this list, srsly?

Paul Noble Volume 3 2006-2007
Throwing my vote out there. I haven’t been right in a while, but I’m guestimating Paul Noble for Turner Prize this year. Let’s see how I do.
It has been a while since the Turner prize really enraged me. Only yesterday I was praising it. This art prize often used to make my blood boil. Then in 2009, I was on the Turner jury: I didn’t annoy myself at all. I worked hard to make sure that every decision the jury made was one I was happy with – especially the winner, Richard Wright. Then, last year, there was a kind of OK, slightly so-so shortlist, no disgrace to the Turner, yet nothing to arouse my passions either way. But this year I fell in love with the art of George Shaw, and to see him shortlisted for the Turner then cast down as an also-ran infuriates and, to be honest, disgusts me. I had forgotten how stupid the Turner prize can be.
It’s nice to know other people are upset about George Shaw being snubbed for the Turner Prize.
Jonathan Jones being on the jury for the 2009 prize also explains my psychic visions. Peas in a pod him and I.
Martin Boyce won the Turner Prize.
I’m not digging his Calder-lite installation.
Bummer sauce. Guess I’m not psychic after all.
20 Minutes until the Turner Prize is announced…
Or probably more, I think the party just starts in 20 minutes. Anywho, just wanted to remind you that I’m psychic sometimes and I still think George Shaw is going to take it home this year.
If he doesn’t, I maintain that the jury probably had a psychotic break or were bribed.*
*I have no evidence of either and just made that up.

I still have my frontrunner…
George Shaw Poet’s Day
I have been remiss in not using my psychic abilities to tell you who was going to win the Turner Prize this year, seeing as the nominees came out a week ago. Actually, this isn’t true, because if you read my Guest of a Guest post last week you would know who I thought was going to win. I digress. If I were a gambling lady, I would put all my money on George Shaw. After last year’s wild card winner, I am pretty sure that his stoic paintings are going to be extra attractive.
Second choice is Karla Black.
