Inasmuch as am an artist myself and also caregiver to my wife with MS I can understand Shonibare's 'rudeness' but ne'rda'less I find it a bit harsh.
With or without a disability, as an artist he is at the mercies of a very fickle public. Maybe he just doesn't give a hoot.

Two people helped him walk down the aisle and onto the stage. It looked as if his hands were affected too. After the lecture I saw him in his wheelchair being taken to a limo. I went over to him and asked if indeed he had TM. He didn't even look at me and just said I'm done. A guard said he is very tired. I know he was tired but he was also very rude!!!
