THE TURNER PRIZE FAILS TO SURPRISE - AGAIN

This year's winner, Jeremy Deller, describes himself as "not a technically capable person". The Telegraph has more (reg required):

"Deller's eclectic back catalogue includes: making the world's most expensive cocktail (£250 worth of spirits, chasers and fruit) at Stringfellow's nightclub and then inviting guests to share it through straws; re-staging the 1984 miners' strike Battle of Orgreave at the original site with miners and actors (Mike Figgis then filmed it) and staging a concert of a northern brass band playing acid house music."
