Old news...
'In 2001, English artist Jacqueline Crofton was banned for life from the Tate Galleries after she threw two eggs at an artwork in the Tate. The work, by Martin Creed, was an empty room in which the lights went on and off, and it was titled The Lights Going On and Off. Crofton egged the room at a moment when the lights were off. Later she told the BBC, "I have nothing against Creed. . . . What I object to fiercely is that we've got this cartel who control the top echelons of the Art World in this country and leave no access for painters and sculptors with real creative talent". '
Attacking Turner Prize entries with eggs would seem like a very good idea. if these modernist advocates consider art to be an artist eggpressing themself then they should really only encourage artists hatching these plots! Being banned from Tate Britain (as the gallery is now known), however, sounds like an henous price to pay for such an eggsemplary if eggcentric action against an eggregious eggshibiton of eggotism. It's am eggcessive punishment for such a poultry offence! They should lay off and give her a free range...
