George Soros actually funds the turner prize, and a hape of other art competitions…his stated goal is to undermine established artistic culture, challenge what is considered talent and accomplishment, and change how art comments on and challenges authority. He has spoken about how artists have proven to be disruptive and distracting rallying points for the disaffected
In other words, everything is shite on purpose
