Now I don't count myself among the ranks of the Turner Prize haters, but can anyone think of a more pointless gesture at inclusivity than this? As if the tine panel is going to se a nomination and go "oh yes, XXX's show of YYY at the ZZZ gallery, hadn't thought of that one, stick it on the list!"
If the TP is good for anything it's good for being the stony face of the unelected art elite.

25k for the winner, 5k for other 3. so they split the 40k total 4 equal ways.
