Sad news: Landscape With Dog Shit Bin did not win Britain's Turner Prize

Scottish artist Boyce wins Britain's Turner Prize

"Great Britain's annual $37,000 (US) Turner Prize for Modern Art has been awarded. The finalists included

* a Scottish artist who filled a room with wadded-up paper, cellophane, soap and deodorant;

* an artist whose paintings of his house included one titled "Landscape With Dog Shit Bin"

* a video called "Floor" that consists of nothing but some footage of a floorboard.

But the Turner Prize went to Martin Boyce, whose winning artwork, "Perforated And Porous," was a collection of sculptures made of industrial junk that suggested a park, with a centerpiece of a bent, rusty garbage bin. Judges hailed it as "pioneering" and said it displayed "a new sense of poetry," although one gallery visitor said he thought it was an actual beat-up garbage can and nearly threw some litter into it.
