I am very sorry the above comment did not get published at the time it was written. I found it today in "Comments Awaiting Moderation" in the blog control panel. BTW Do you have a problem logging in? You appear to be naive john. The software was updated recently and the new interface is a wee bit more complex than the old one. Damn, Damn Damn - apology time again…

She asked the question unambiguously about the Turner Prize in her article in The Observer http://arts.guardian.co.uk/turnerprize2006/story/0,,1884682,00.html We simply repeated it. The only sense in which it was taken out of context was that the original context was a newspaper column and it was transferred to the context of the Turner Prize at Tate Britain - surely no better context in which to pose such a deliberation. It seems she wasn't expecting this to happen, but there is no valid reason why it should not. She said it. Maybe you should hang your head in shame for just believing one side of the story without further research. Why you think the protest got off to a bad start with the photo of Serota holding an image of my painting about him is beyond me. We were highly delighted, especially as someone captured the whole thing on video and it then appeared in The Independent. I would say the best start for the last 6 years (the first clown demo still leads the way). You accuse me of "nasty vicious little put-downs" but that's just what you've done yourself about me. Your observations are derived from factual inaccuracies. I'm just expressing my opinion, which I trust I am allowed to do, even though it was censored in Artistica, albeit not in The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,1964185,00.html .
