The Jerwood Charitable Foundation has awarded the £25,000 award for the 2007 Jerwood Sculpture Prize to Langton artist Juliet Haysom for her work Spring. Juliet will drill a bore hole above a natural aquifer in Jerwood Sculpture Park, in the grounds of Ragley, Warwickshire. The spring she creates will emerge as a mist of fine water approximately 100 x 100 x 200 cm in size.

You can get £25,000 for drilling a hole to let water out!
I bet all the local plumbers are getting excited if they can do the same!
Isn't the point that she was the first to do it?
An interesting idea, maybe.
Fun even.
But art?
Err no.
The first to do it?
Err.
Doesn't this occur in nature?
Would 2.18 care to help us by telling us what art is. We can then pass this information on to the judges of the Jerwood prize who despite the fact that they are arts professionals obviously don't know.
The idea that "professionals" are always right is of course one of the great myths.
It applies just as much to "art professionals" as to others.
Let's see.
Politicians are "professionals" and the government is made up of "professionals" at politics.
If 12.21 am was correct then the government would always be right.
Professional architects wouldn't design monstrosities (I assume someone did design the Mowlem) because they are always right.
Many years ago I recall going round a pop art exhibition that had been much written up in the trendy Sunday papers and realising sadly that most of it was one-dimensional and empty. It was a joy to retreat into the rest of the gallery where then unfashionable artists from the past showed that art could have depth.
Those pop artists are the old masters of the modern art world, knights and dames, but still in many cases empty rubbish.
Not all modern artists are rubbish. Picasso was a genius, though he is over rated and over priced. But Jackson Pollock wasn't much more than a mess. And too many of the fame of some modern brit artists is purely the result of energetic publicity.
Always interesting when an amateur sets themself up.
Pop art
"and realising sadly that most of it was one-dimensional and empty."
Pop art is about context. Think about it!
Yours
an amateur!
I am sure it will give a lot of people some peace and tranquility,which nowadays
is somewhat rare. And if i had to pay,
i would rather give 25 grand for this,
than 400 grand for an olympic"logo"?.
