I'd like to see Jeremy Deller win... I haven't seen the piece that he's been nominated for (but thanks for the link so will investiagte)... but I do remember the recreation he did of one of the riots during the miner's strike and it was just fucking fantastic... However, I will return after going through all the links to see what I think of all the particular pieces... Suddenly I'm transported back to my days as a conceptual artist... Fly...
I never knew that Sal was a conceptual artisit... nay, a performance artist... Fly... ps... I still go with Jeremy Deller...
