Bar. We believe it. But this is also a political gesture …

Ouh la la … On December 1, the Turner Prize was awarded in 1984 for its significant contribution to British culture. The first of the four nominees was Malcolm Morley. He was followed in the 1980s and 1990s by Gilbert & George, Richard Deacon, Tony Craig, Richard Long, Anish Kapoor, Anthony Gomley, Damian Hirst, Chris Ofley and Douglas Gordon. Small. Names that are part of the larger English representation in the international arena are now almost everything. The astonished French also released a certified copy of Turner, the Marcel-Duchamp Prize, at the beginning of the third millennium. The same principle. Four candidates. A museum exhibition in the center Pompidou, revealing the name of the winner at this time. Lily Raynaud Devar in 2021.
Feminist, committed, provincial
Then, like many things now, everything was abandoned. The prize was for young people, feminists, committed, provincial and, above all, politicians. Now, it happens in the regions every year. In 2021, it will take place in this year’s so-called “City of Culture” in the Convent. One thing I did not pay much attention to. Of course, this version needed a share of innovations. In 2019, the Turner Prize was awarded to four of its nominees globally. The following year it went to ten British artists, to support young art. In 2021, there will be five candidates instead of four. Nothing but alliances. Note that we already have a full video version.

Ultimately the Array Collective won. It is a band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is associated with agitating social phenomena in this part of the island. His works include protests and demonstrations, but not all exhibitions. The goal is to make abortion free or change the legislation that marks the queer community in Northern Ireland, which I think is commendable. He suggested for the Turner Prize an original copy of an Irish pub, a reconstruction of a place of life and exchange. So the second one gets paid 25,000 in one way or another. The other finalists will receive 10,000 each.
Audiences struggling to follow
With these changes, the Turner gift has certainly changed drastically. But along the way he lost the audience. Published, the names of the winners were quickly forgotten today. These works will be on display at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum until January 12, 2022, and the public will not have much to go on their way to Coventry right now. 2021 (I’ll be back to this topic soon) The public for cutting-edge contemporary art has shrunk even further. The excitement for a young and iconoclastic work had waned years before the Pandemic. Normal. I did not accidentally write “Iconoclastic”. We have entered the age of neo-adaptation. To the Hyper Realize Site Bar offered in Conventry, if you agree, Flemish Rinus van de Velde’s Corrugated, Paint Cardboard, offered at the Kunst Museum in Lucerne this summer, is my choice
Born 1948, Etienne Dumont In Geneva he conducted studies which were of no significant use. Latin, Greek, Law. A failed lawyer, he turned to journalism. From March 1974 to May 2013, he worked in “Tribune de Genevale”, often talking about cinema in cultural circles. Then came Fine Arts and books. Other than that, as you can see, there is nothing to report.

This work is for the Array Collective, selected from five communities. Coventry was the scene of a less interesting incident than in the past.
