This Literal Pile Of Rubbish Just Won A Major Art Award

Surely it’s nothing to do with the ‘artist’ being transgender?

A pile of bent metal and other assorted rubbish has been awarded one of the most prestigious art prizes in the world, and the ‘artist’ happens to be transgender.

“The Turner Prize has named its first transgender winner,” reports the Telegraph, adding “Jesse Darling has been handed the £25,000 prize for work which included metal tracks bent into the shape of a woolly mammoth.”

The work was said to evoke “the vulnerability of the human body and the precariousness of power structures” by ‘judges’.

The work apparently “questions dominant narratives about the world” and represents “unspeakable violence in the privatisation of literally everything the UK” according to its creator.

Here it is, you decide. Looks like a scrap heap to us:

Sections of the work include “bricks arranged on the floor, positioned next to decorated hammers, CCTV cameras, police body armour, and barbed wire.”

As we said before, a literal scrap heap.

Shut up though because transgender, OK?

Why is this award named after Turner again?

What would you choose to look at? This ‘any old iron’ shit, a transgender re-imagining of Michelangelo’s Madonna, or a woman painting with her arse?

Because they are your choices now.

  1. Next they will be shitting on the floor and calling that art too.

    We live in a mentally ill world and it is fucking terrifying lol.

  2. Holy shit, all they had to do was come down at my neighbors back yard ffs. They could do with the 25k. Country steadily going down the toilet. Clearly the judges have never been to Camden.
