The Turner Prize has just been won by a man in teddy bear suit. 🙂

The Guardian said:

His film Sleeper, 154 minutes of footage of the artist wandering around a deserted German gallery disguised as a bear (but recognisable by his very particular gait), has baffled and entranced visitors to the Turner prize exhibition by turns….

Wallinger’s best-known work to date is perhaps his Ecce Homo, a statue of Christ that occupied Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth in London in 1999. Other memorable works include Angel, in which Wallinger ascended and descended the escalator at Angel Underground station, London, reciting parts of the Bible, backwards.

I don’t suppose he gave his bear character a religiously sensitive name though.
