turner nominees

So they've announced the Turner Prize nominees here - and congratulations to them all. I don't really know the work of Angela de la Cruz or the Otolith Group all that well, but do like Susan Philipsz work. I have a funny story about Dexter Dalwood, the final nominee - who makes great paintings. Last summer when Dan and I went to the Mark Grotjahn opening while we happened to be in England for our cousin Tim's wedding, we did the whole dinner/party after thing - and Dexter was sitting at our table. He was really nice, and very funny - seeing as he posed for this picture with the Whitefish, which was the main course.



First thing I think of when I see his name.
