Gavin Turk, Identity & Ownership
As a key member of the Young British Artists (YBAs) alongside
contemporaries Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk is no stranger
to controversy. Beginning his career by famously failing his MA at the
Royal College of Art, here he talks to us about Alighiero Boetti's
influence on his work, which is revealed in his series of new art
dominated by tapestry pieces for a major exhibition in London, which
will coincide with the Boetti exhibition at Tate Modern. Crane.tv got
an exclusive studio visit and talked to Turk about identity, ownership
and why his artwork could have been "made by anyone."
