United Kingdom Poverty Line For Two Adults And Two Children

The Turner Prize exhibition has returned to Tate Britain this year.  So I got the chance to see while I am staying in London.  Today is the last day if you still want to catch it.  Here are my favourite finalist Michael Dean's installation United Kingdom Poverty Line For Two Adults And Two Children: Twenty Thousand Four Hundred And Thirty Six Pounds Sterling As Published On 1st September 2016 and other sculptural works:

Magical Consciousness*

First day in New York ... I spent the entire afternoon at the MoMA.  Since I had only(!) three hours, I had to pick and choose.  I chose to see its collection from after the 1960s.  That's actually what I like most.  Not only was I happily bombarded by the rich imagery, I was surprised to see an exhibition of Runa Islam's recent films.  I have really missed her films since the 2008 Turner Prize exhibition at Tate Britain.  As always, Islam's films were very beautifully shot, with her distinctive minimal poetic style.

*Magical Consciousness is the title of one of Islam's four films currently on view at MoMA.

De la Cruz's deflated paintings/collapsed sculptures

Turner Prize 2010 finalist Angela de la Cruz's paintings are broken and distorted canvases.  The distinction between paintings and sculptures is blurred by these 3-dimensional objects.  I saw her daring works at Tate Britain last December.  Although she did not win the prize, she got my vote.
