Turner Shortlist Released; Crystal Cave Artist Is On It

“Roger Hiorns, who transformed a condemned south London flat into a cavern filled with eerie blue crystals, is among the four artists nominated for the 2009 Turner prize, it was announced this morning. Also on the list is Enrico David, 43, … who creates collages, drawings and sculpture; Glasgow-based Lucy Skaer, 34, who often bases her drawings on photojournalism; and Richard Wright, 49, a maker of sparse, delicately crafted wall paintings who is also based in Glasgow.”
