Whatthewhat
From the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4492650.stm):Simon Starling, the artist whose work includes turning a shed into a working boat and then back into a shed, has won the £25,000 Turner Prize.
...Speaking about his artwork, Shedboatshed (Mobile Architecture No 2), he said he did not like to be thought of as eccentric because "that's not what my work is about. It's a serious business on many levels".
...He found his shed - a wooden shack - in the Swiss town of Schweizerhalle.
After turning it into a boat, he paddled it seven miles down the Rhine to Basel, where he rebuilt it.
Shedboatshed. Oh no, dude, you're not eccentric. Eccentric is the dude who tears down a shed, makes it into a boat, paddles seven miles downriver, rebuilds it into a shed, and doesn't win twenty-five thousand pounds. That guy's the village idiot. You're a freaking genius.
Whither next for you, Simon Starling? Dockboatdock or possibly Shedboxshed? What about tirehulahooptire?
I myself had an installation last week of potboilingwaterpot.
