Turner Prize Shortlist

How do art awards and shortlists inform our attitudes towards art? Do they confirm or challenge the cultural orthodoxy? Does such a thing exist?

This is an interesting example in the arts as this prize always seems to generate a great deal of controversy, due to widely differing views of the worth of the entries.

This leads us back to the question of what criteria we can apply to art work, although perhaps this example makes such criteria particularly hard to identify or agree with.

You could read more about past contestants and winners for a deeper understanding of this example.
