Turner Prize
At the Baltic there was an expedition about the Turner prize which is a big art prize of an amount of money and a trophy. It had different artists, Karla Black she made instillation which revolved around children having fun with different materials and adding them all together such has soap, makeup and fabric to tie it all together.
Martin Boyce did old fashion metal sculptures, like they did before all of the elements were found.
George Shaw made super realistic images that you thought would of been pictures but they were made from very hard to mix paint.
And Hilary Lloyd took pictures of every day objects,zoomed in so you had to think what the object really was she also made a movie about it,so you had to think even harder.
The winner was Martin Boyce I voted for Karla Black myself.
