Sam for Turner Prize 2011

Okay. So my blog has so far not “gone viral” in the way that I had lazily hoped when I started it one cold November day last year. Fine. Perhaps I should have done more to promote my “work”.

But if Susan Philipszzszshzs can win the Turner Prize for recording herself singing a load of 16th century dirges and then inflicting them on innocent people going about their business in supermarkets or while crossing roads, surely I can win for producing work of equal quality (I defy anyone to disagree with me on THAT point) and having the decency to NOT inflict it on anyone save those who stumble across my blog while trawling the internet for Belinda Carlisle fan websites?

According to the judges, Philippszszxzzhsz’s work “provokes both intellectual and instinctive responses and reflects a series of decisions about the relationship between sound and sight”, providing “powerful sculptural experiences”.

Good-o.

My turn next year, please. Friends, I’ll let you know when nominations open, and I trust I can rely on your support.

Better than my "Belinda Carlisle" artwork, apparently.
