Re: Turner prize- art? or just a shed?
it is, yeah

maybe because i haven't heard much of it outside this forum i still think it's a pretty good statement.
a bit simple, but effective. and it takes it away from being "merely" craft and skill.
materials have their re-uses, simply chalking it up as waste is, well... wasteful. you can use a garden shed to make yourself a boat, and it comes back to being a shed if you like, just somewhere else.

but you're talking to a dumpster diver here, so maybe i'm just excited by it.

it's so simple too. one man and a shed. and this is what he can do with just the materials he has.
