80 years ago or so, that kid would have been a genius…

Anyone interested in getting a “feel” for British art would do well to look at the turner prize nominees and recipients. It might be especially illuminating if you compare their work to that presented in the various whitney biennials. Though, as is usual with every art capital, more conceptually oriented work rules the roost. For anyone currently in London, I would strongly recommend Wolfgang Tillmans at the serpentine as well as Francis Alÿs at the tate modern. Joana Vasconcellos at Haunch of Venison was also a fairly fun show to see if you’re around though it’s not what you might consider heavy.
