I have been asked by my client to make the following announcement:
The artist formerly known as Hertz van Rental shall hereafter be called The Wilson Family And Aunty Doris At 52 Edith Road.
Under this nom dArt he will not be dressing up in animal skins of any kind and will certainly not be going to any Museums or Art Galleries. Instead he will be employing gangs of cameramen to roam around documenting all of the places he is not to be seen at.
The footage will then be edited together into a 56 hour loop and will be screened continuously on one of those cable channels that you can never find until you are somewhat drunk and zapping aimlessly at 2am while deciding whether to go to bed or cook up a curry.
Then The Wilson Family And Aunty Doris At 52 Edith Road will sit back and wait to become the surprise winner of next years Turner Prize.
He is working on the basis that if its out the ordinary and the judges dont understand it then they are bound to vote for it.
Its got to stand a better chance than the one he did this year that didnt even get a look in.
It was called Kiss My Art.
Constructing a life-sized chocolate statue of a young Chinese girl from a latex mould*, he placed it in the middle of his local library and employed teams of resting actors and unemployed Media Studies graduates to kiss and lick the giant confection until it was all worn away.
It symbolised how the West annexes various non-Western cultures whilst eroding the ethnicity of their peoples .
Yeah! I thought it was pretentious cr ap too.
Undeterred, The Wilson Family And Aunty Doris At 52 Edith Road has come back with this block-buster.
My money is on Spangles, The Juggling Cat.
* All charges were dropped when he settled out of Court for an unspecified amount.
PS: If you dont understand any of this and dont think its funny then you are probably an American. If you do understand it but still dont think its funny then you are probably Mark Wallinger.
