How do I go about entering my shower curtain for the Turner prize?
I treated myself to a new one at Christmas.
For some unknown reason, for the past 2 days, Betty the paranoid midget cat has decided to create a work of art on it, using her claws!!!
It's now bl**dy useless, has some interesting holes - sorry designs - in it and, unlike Tracy Emmen's work is clean and totally unpretentious!!!

well if they display a crack in the floor, a pile of bricks, an empty room, a filthy bed, they can display anything

lol...well it has to be better than some of the others. I hear there was controversy when an actual painting that you could tell what it was of was entered.

nice one Summer - that just about sums up the stupidity of it all - it strikes me as being a bit like "The Kings new Clothes"
