FUCK BP AND THEIR COLLABORATORS

Fuck any artist who is willing to sell themselves to these cunts. YOU are the problem in art today.
"one of the UK's most popular art prizes, it was announced last night."
" The smaller shortlisting – it used to feature four works – coincides with a change in the prize money this year. There will be no third prize, and the first prize pot has been increased by £5,000 to £30,000. The runner-up will receive £10,000."
" Sandy Nairne, director of the gallery and chair of the judging panel, said: "Thanks to BP's continued and generous sponsorship, the new level of prizes can be awarded and the works can be shared with thousands of visitors."

 "This year, 1,969 entries were submitted from 77 countries; 55 have been selected for the annual exhibition running between 20 June and 15 September."

This year, 1,969 artists sent their art to us from 77 different countries. 55 have been selected for the annual exhibition. HAHAHA!

The very idea that you'd allow these people to sponsor you, shows you for truly what you are.

I believe that artists should exclude and shun those who have seeked to do nothing but profit from art - but then again, it is a subjective notion that we should not be interested in profit and not a one that the art world shares with me. Profit is all art is about in today's world. Fuck the Tate. Fuck the 'National' Gallery and fuck Saatchi.

Fuck all y'all.
