Martin Boyce Snags Turner Prize … if you care

I have trouble getting excited by the Turner Prize anymore. British art isn't as central to the art dialogue as it once was a decade ago so it is feeling more and more like a regional contest. Congrats to Martin Boyce anyway. You can read more on BBC [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-160
