Turner Shed Into Cash Quick!
December 07, 2005

So, Simon Starling wins the Turner Prize for an installation that is basically an old shed, that he supposedly transformed into a boat, took to Germany, paddled down the Rhine and rebuilt to its original form.

Gosh! I once packed all my clothes into a suitcase, took them to Germany, wore them, packed them back up and brought them home again!

Primer has been released in the USA, so kottke reports. Wonder how long we'll have to wait for it here. It comes complete with a Directors commentary... I can't wait... I'm still scratching my head over bits of it!

Time to decide what I want to see at the Beckett Festival next year - I think I once sat opposite Beckett on a Piccadilly Line [I think] tube - I sat across from a white haired man, on the end seat, by the door. He appeared to be asleep. Then, slowly, he opened his eyes, leaned over and asked me [in a soft Irish accent] to wake him at Hammersmith.

This must have been the very early 80's and I'm sure I read that he was living around there then - Of course it could have been any old Irish guy, I don't even know if he had much of an Irish accent... but it looked very much like him to me.
