The Times tells us:
'An award-winning young artist has been told that her appearance in the Big Brother house can qualify for the Turner Prize as a study in endurance.'
I have to endure the fact that in return for my licence fee I am fed a diet of propaganda and voyeuristic tat. I think I therefore qualify for the Turner Prize as a study in performance–fatigue art.
