"Members of the public have their first chance to see the artwork nominated for the Turner Prize when an exhibition featuring the four artists opens later.
Anthea Hamilton is nominated for work focusing on fetishism including an enormous sculpture of a man's buttocks.
Visitors can ride on Josephine Pryde's Lapses in Thinking, a train that goes around the gallery.
Michael Dean, Helen Marten are the other two artists in the running for the prestigious £25,000 prize."
There was a DB Schenker 66 they showed too. Looked awesome.
In my opinion the train is more art than some of the other crap that's on display,for instance how can you class a huge black circle made up of thousands of dead flies as art ,it was called Black Sun ,I know what I would call it but I can't say that on here Tank would ban me even if he agreed with me. I'm sorry but I really think that some people have something wrong with them ,I think in my opinion some of the layouts on this Forum and at exhibitions should be regarded as art and some of the weathering of Locos is real art.But then I don't earn a fortune or go around with my nose in the air and go to snobby parties so obviously I don't know what art is ,I love it when the art critics get fooled by the TV programs when they get chimps and there was an elephant that splashed paint on a big sheet of paper and all the arty farty snobs were saying how wonderful the results were and that the works were full of brilliant brush strokes etc etc etc it really made me laugh so much I got the stitch.
The TV company should have sold the ( paintings ) and given the money to a charity .

No.
All the layouts will, however, be wonderful works of art in their own right.
