note : the cat and girlfriend are catalogued as possessions as well.
' By the time the installation is complete he will have nothing but a
cat called Rats and his girlfriend, Turner Prize winning video artist
Gillian Wearing. '
did the turner prize save the girlfried? [e.g. saab: mastercard /
turner prize potential future caché: priceless ] but what about the
cat: do you think it's because of those pesky laws about granulating
and shredding girlfriends and animals and hauling them to the tip?
