Mark very much wanted to see the Turner Prize exhibition since it’s in Liverpool for the first time so we went to the Tate Liverpool yesterday.

It’s safe to say that I’m singularly unimpressed by the video of a man in a bear suit - he looked like Bungle from Rainbow after 6 months in a POW camp. I mean why?? What’s it supposed to be saying? They may as well have shown a video of David Blaine in his perspex box.

The only shortlisted work that I did like was a series of large boxes containing mirrors, sand and lights twinkling in the darkness. You looked through a small hole and could see infinity. It was very imaginative, disorientating and ‘festive’. I couldn’t help but think of ‘We three kings of orient are’. I’m not sure that was the effect the artist was looking to achieve, but hey, he got a response, what more could he want?
