Perhaps Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson Was One of the Judges.

T
his evening's coverage of this story about the Turner Prize on the BBC World Service might just be the funniest thing I have ever heard on the radio.

I've emailed the program and asked them to post the audio. I'll link to them if it appears.

UPDATE: OK, I found the audio. Here's the deal: I have no idea if this will stay up any longer than today. Go to the homepage of the World Today program (I mean "programme"), scroll down to the bottom right where the archived shows are listed, click on 02:00 GMT, and go to the forty minute mark in the program. Sorry, programme. It's a seven-minute bit.

Just do it. You will not regret it.

FURTHER UPDATE: I think that the link is up permanently here; go to the six-minute point and enjoy.

Sometimes you just have to go with the Philistines. I'm off to contemplate the meaning of the shed in our materialistic culture of globalization.

Perhaps the Warhol-ism should be: in the future, everyone will be a part of a Python sketch for 15 minutes.

"Have you written any of your recent works in this shed of yours?"
