The Turnip
Prize
The Turnip Prize is the antidote to the Turner Prize, an art
competition based in the UK which annually dazzles the
public of the World with a dire tribe of pseudo artistic
litter.
As the artistic press gasp and feign in awe as a line of
what appears to be a line degenerates and fruitcakes queue
up in front of the world to give verbose justifications
about how their "piece" should be "appreciated" by everyone
and what "inspired" it. The rest of us just stand gaping at
the wanton peddling of crap and are then astonished as some
"more money than sense" business man snaps up the winner's
output for hundreds of thousands.
Lets face it, the Turner prize set out to be new, innovative
and shocking, maybe even anti establishment. Now it is the
establishment, if they wanted to be really shocking they
should give it to someone who actually shows some talent and
ability (and someone normal with no obvious outward
psychological problems)....
Whilst the motto of the Turner Prize appears to be "We know
its art, but is it shit?" the Turnip Prize clearly states
its motto as "We know its shit, but is it art?" 2011
