My answer would be both. I can just about understand how it is art, but it's also shite.

/agree

Just can't see it as art. Deep Sea Diving suit, 3 chairs and a wooden tower. How the heck is that art! I want art to be meaninful or reflective. I don't want to look at a manequin on a toilet. Just don't get it I guess.

Its entirely subjective.

A urinal was voted the most influential work of modern art:
CNN.com - World's best art piece? A urinal - Dec 2, 2004

Whats next ?

Have a crap on the floor and post that off, see if it wins ?

Or perhaps enter yourself, naked, with nothing but a sheet of cling film covering your privates. "Ah yes, I can clearly see your nuts"

I've always seen 'groundbreaking' art as fucking shit - please get them to paint something as good as Da Vinci etc.

No that's far too much work - just allow them to come up with something that's minimum effort, take coke and piss about like a bunch of losers. :touch:

Give me a decent Monet or Bosch any day of the week.

Art for arts sake never really pushed any buttons for me

I could enter one of my used colostomy bags, and say its a commentary on the state of the Turner Prize, and they'd call it art....

It'd probably win too.

LOL aye. If you typed up some pretentious bollocks to go along with it you should try it. I mean, if some bloke can win it with a urinal....

Totally agree ;)

Oo you have a colostomy bag? Do you ever accidentally sit on it like a whoopie cushion with comical and yet disturbing results?? :puke:

I bet you people would be saying the same about the likes of Van Gough if you were around at the time. Zomg it's not photographical realism, it's not art!
